PLEZURO redesigns the act of eating. It focuses on senses and perception, allowing us to recover the primordial relationship between our hands and mouth, transfor-ming it in a synaptic relationship between lost senses and eating.
Throughout human history, the primordial gesture of eating has taken on new mea-nings and sensorial experiences. Besides mere sustenance, eating holds essential experiential notions in society.Trending western eating habits neglect some essential sensorial experiences in relation to food, under utilizing the core of what eating provides: the stimulation of all senses.
Simultaneously with the aging of our population reaching new heights by 2053, the way in which we interact with food can be a starting point to ensure stronger relationships with our elders. By enhancing senses while eating our focus can be on our ability to reconnect as a collective society
