This section will lift the curtain over my laboratory. Here, like a medieval alchemist, I return to the same search of meaning, form and essence of things over and over again. I conduct various researches, which becomes a reliable foundation for my design.

I understand that simple objects are the items that haven’t changed their constructive and practical characteristics from the moment of their creation. A knife, an axe or a peg, a paper-clip, matches and many other objects from our surroundings are simple objects. Simple and vital problems demand simple solutions. A knife is for cutting, an axe is for chopping, a spoon is for eating. These are the objects made for assuring life-sustaining activities of a human being in regular life and in life and death situations alike. Did you know that a third of solders during a bayonet attack died of heart failure just when the bayonet just touched them and not because of the damage done to them? Simple objects are the strongest, the most reliable, the most dangerous and the most useful. The most simple objects are the ones without which it’s impossible to survive an accident. I project the thesis upon an object and present its necessity after total change of the environment. Imagine a world without electricity, transport, heating etc. A world, where just the objects, that possess unique characteristics, will help you survive… You can ask, what’s the point of discussing such questions? A designer is an innovator, a designer is a pioneer! He is a creator, in his hands the world evolutions. Some things have to stay intact until the function and form of the human being changes. A simple spoon	It is an object for transporting food into the mouth. Usually the food is liquid, the hand is right and the mouth is ordinary. Human hands and mouths have not changed their parameters since the times of the first meaningful drawings on rocks.
It is in that period exactly that humans slowly but steadily went from raw and hard to chopped and cut food that underwent additional heat treatment. As soup appeared, the spoon appeared – the most essential object in the life of a human.
An ordinary spoon consists of a dipper and a handle. Usually the dipper is some kind of a round container without sharp edges and prominent parts. A standard handle is a long cylindrical grip. The shape is dictated by function and physical characteristics of a human body. The size of the dipper does not exceed the size of an average mouth, and the length of the handle correlates with the size of a hand. >	All triangular, furry or with “a pretty hole” do not work. There is no point in searching for new solutions in constructions and sizes. A larger size will make it a shovel, just a simple object too, but for other problems. The shape and size of a spoon has never changed, but all the possible production materials were tried, from wood and aluminum to stainless steel and plastic.
Some peoples experimented with material of natural origin. Here are some examples of various combinations. Decorators and stylists made a real effort. Ornaments and patterns cover most of the models. Nevertheless, as a result we possess two types of spoons: metal - for everyday multiple uses, that answers all required demands like thermo stability and long period of service; plastic – for a single eating. In the foreseeable future there could not be any reason for fundamental change of a spoon. Simple objects will survive past us.
