Pink and powerful

This blog is all about "design in society" in every way shape and form. Just today, as I was searching my mind for something to blog about, I took a bite of cereal and looked down at my spoon because I simply had nothing better to do.  The back of my spoon said "Designed by Simon Legno" and I thought "oh boy! its design in society! Its design in my room!" And it reminded me of why I had kept this pink spoon.


As I'm sure many of you are, Yogurtland is one of many frozen yogurt places to pop up all over town and allow you to indulge in your favorite flavors with a variety of yummy toppings. And because it is so good, I want to go as many times as my wallet can afford. The only problem I have consciously about eating frozen yogurt often besides the spending aspect is the idea of waste. When I buy ice cream, I can buy a cone and all I throw away is a little paper that wraps around. But with frozen yogurt, there are only bowls which require spoons. Legno designed a spoon that is not only colorful and cute with different characters sitting at the top, but a pink plastic spoon that is biodegradable. When I first read the back of the spoon while enjoying my frozen yogurt, I was so impressed that a frozen yogurt place had bothered to make a eco-friendly spoon. For me, Legno designed not just for Yogurtland, but he also took in to consideration his eco-conscious customers who could indulge in a bite of yogurt and have one less guilty thought in mind.
