We were responsible for the technical production/direction and product design of Electro Fork, a fork which can control the flavor of food through an electronic sense of taste generated by electrically stimulating the tongue.

The Electro Fork was used in the No Salt Restaurant, a restaurant which provides salt-free cuisine to its customers. The device allows people who are avoiding salt in their diet (e.g. due to high blood pressure) to adjust the flavor of the food to their own individual tastes and maintain a healthy diet.

The handle and prongs of the Electro Fork act as electrodes. When a user takes hold of the fork, uses it to pick up a piece of food and place it into the mouth, and presses a button to release an electric current, the electric current is conducted to the tongue via the food, electrically stimulating the tongue to generate a sensation of taste.
