This pie chart plate enables fresh couples to grasp how well balanced their foods are roughly, without weighing foods or counting the nutritional value. The team targeted fresh couples for this plate. They tend to eat unhealthily in their new married life. Because the new life with partner enhances appetite. At the same time, they don’t want to trouble each other to care about their foods too much. To solve the problems, the team aimed to balance controlling their diet easily with enjoying to eat. And they achieved it getting inspiration from pie chart, the symbol of balance visualization.

Recognized by A' Design Award.
Jun does not tie himself down to restrictions or stereotypes, think out of box. He brings a lot of ideas on the table widely, and shapes aesthetic designs combining lines and surfaces together freely. On the other hand, Takuya has a good sense of catch the critical point making the product attractive. And he is enthusiastic to polish the point thoroughly. Finding a hidden new value, giving various kinds of forms to it and sophisticating it without compromise, only the two different types of designers can have the great synergies in their design.
