TABLEWARE WITH FEATURES
Support sustainably
Our intelligent tableware has features invisibly hidden in the design. These make independent eating and drinking easier without anyone noticing. The highlight: The eating and drinking aids look like common tableware. This means that people with swallowing difficulties, impaired vision, stiff fingers (gout, rheumatism), shaky hands or complaints in the neck, arms and hands can eat and drink again without help from others. Nice, isn't it?!
To the features
EATING WITH ONE HAND This specially designed plate combines three supportive functions in one discreet piece of tableware. It enables people with limited motor skills or one-handed use to eat independently and confidently, without the appearance of a visible aid. The gently sloped base guides foods such as soup, peas, yoghurt or muesli towards the lowest point of the plate. A subtle food-retaining rim makes it easier to transfer meals onto a spoon or fork, supporting controlled and frustration-free eating. An integrated non-slip ring on the underside keeps the plate securely positioned on the table, even when pressure is applied while spooning against the rim. This provides stability and safety for users with reduced strength, tremors or limited mobility. All functional elements are discreetly integrated, allowing the plate to be used intuitively without any specific positioning. It works with any spoon movement and is equally suitable for left- and right-handed users. A tactile reference point located beneath the rim offers additional orientation for visually impaired users. Made from break-resistant high-quality plastic, the plate is Bisphenol A-free, food-safe, dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe. This makes it ideal for everyday use at home as well as in care environments, rehabilitation settings and therapeutic facilities.
THE DISCREET EVERYDAY HELPER The days of spouted cups and cut-out nose cups are over – thanks to the mug with drinking trick. Its supportive function is subtly integrated into the elegant design and is not recognisable as an aid from the outside. This helps prevent the drinking aid from being rejected from the outset or users feeling stigmatised or uncomfortable. A specially shaped inner cup – similar to an ice cream cone – ensures that drinks flow into the mouth with just a slight tilting movement. There is no need to tilt the head back or raise the arm significantly. This allows independent drinking for people with limited neck or arm mobility, as well as when sitting in a semi-upright position. The mug is intuitive to use and does not need to be consciously aligned: drinking is possible from any point around the rim. For added safety, various drinking attachments can be used, allowing the drinking volume to be individually controlled. A SECURE GRIP The large, ergonomically shaped handle supports people with limited finger mobility, reduced hand strength or an impaired grip. It offers several gripping options: the mug can be held in the handle with an open hand or the handle can be fully enclosed with all fingers. An integrated thumb rest provides additional stability. The mug’s low weight makes it easier to handle when strength in the hands and arms is reduced. A large base area also ensures excellent stability: the mug is less likely to tip over – even when pushed across the table or given a slight knock. VERSATILE SUPPORT An insulating air layer between the inner and outer cup keeps drinks at temperature for longer. This gives people who drink slowly more time to enjoy hot drinks warm and cold drinks cool. This effect can be further enhanced by using drinking attachments. The mug is available in many attractive colours. The white inner cup ensures that the colour of the drink remains true and that the drinking rim is clearly visible. The high-contrast two-colour design particularly supports people with visual impairments or dementia when drinking independently. Overall, the mug with drinking trick enables independent, stylish drinking at one’s own pace. Adequate fluid intake is of great nutritional importance, especially in older age. At the same time, independent drinking promotes mobility and muscle activity, strengthens self-esteem and relieves both professional caregivers and family carers.
SUPPORT FOR ONE-HANDED EATING The eating board is a thoughtfully designed eating aid for people who, due to physical limitations such as paralysis, injury or a broken arm, can only use one hand. Three raised edges keep the slice of bread securely in place and allow easy one-handed spreading without the bread slipping. A continuous non-slip ring on the underside ensures that the eating board stays firmly on the table while spreading or cutting. This provides stability and safety, even with reduced strength or limited mobility. When combined with the preparation aid, the one-handed eating board supports not only eating but also food preparation in the kitchen. Bread rolls, cucumbers or apples can be fixed in place and cut using just one hand. The eating board is suitable for both right- and left-handed users and can be used flexibly in any direction. The raised edges also make it easier to lift the eating board from the table with just one hand, without having to push it to the edge of the table. It can be stacked compactly for space-saving storage in cupboards. Made from scratch-resistant, break-resistant high-quality plastic, the eating board is Bisphenol A-free, food safe, dishwasher safe and microwave safe. This makes it ideal for everyday use at home, in care settings or in therapeutic environments.
KEEP WARM PLATE – KEEPS FOOD WARM OR COOL FOR LONGER The keep warm plate helps meals such as soup, mashed potatoes or pasta stay warm for longer. Its double-walled base can be filled with hot water to keep food warm, or with cold water or crushed ice to keep food cool. Ideal for people who take more time to enjoy their meals. NON-SLIP, SAFE AND DISCREET A large filling opening beneath the non-slip grip pads allows easy and safe filling of the thermo plate. Additional non-slip grip pads in the rim and a non-slip ring on the base ensure a secure hold on the table and in the hand. The plate does not need to be held while eating and is also suitable for one-handed eating. All supportive features are discreetly integrated into the design and are not immediately recognisable as an eating aid.

The ORNAMIN eating and drinking aids start where the body reaches its limits. The care dishes are a helpful support for independent eating and drinking in illnesses such as dementia, stroke, multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease.

With a baby in our arms, we can no longer make our sandwich on our own. Or your parents can suddenly no longer hold their cup by temselves due to their age.
