Spicy Maraca

The "Spicy Maraca" is a cooking instrument designed in the language of Joseph Joseph. Kinetic movement and direct user engagement were the foundation of this design concept. The user is intended to put a mixture of spices/seasonings into the Spicy Maraca, then shake to mix. Once mixed, the Spicy Maraca acts as a means of dispensing the mixture onto whatever is being cooked. The experience of this product was designed with play at the forefront, providing people with an instrument to play as a part of their mundane everyday tasks.
