What's Cooking Grandma? - Human Beans

The Grandma Player is a new prototype product developed for this exhibition that plays the sound of grandma cooking her favourite recipe and sharing culinary tips in real time. Its reassuring form reminds us of the need to preserve the knowledge of the older generation and encourages stronger social connections to be made and maintained within families.

Human Beans create provocative concepts. They make fictional products by hacking commercial culture and design new services by working with real people. Their work is disseminated through spam, media, shop shelves and exhibitions. Human Beans is a collaboration between advertising creative and designer Mickael Charbonnel and design strategist Chris Vanstone. Their work was recently included in the HearWear exhibition at the V&A, London and Safe: Design Takes On Risk at MoMA, New York.
