Revolutionizing Pet Care: The Cone Bowl by Vladimir Zagorac

Award-Winning Design Offers Unique Approach to Pet Feeding and Hydration

The inspiration behind the 'Cone' design was to create a single object for both feeding and drinking that addresses potential issues with pet health, hygiene, and discipline. The bowl's unique combination of circular and triangular shapes creates positive and negative spaces, both sharp and round. Depending on its orientation, the bowl can be used for serving food or water, making it a versatile addition to any pet owner's home.

What sets the 'Cone' apart from other pet bowls is its unique set of protrusions and recesses. These act as physical and psychological guides for pets, encouraging them to eat and drink properly, safely, and with discipline. The design promotes slow feeding and prevents water splashing, making it a practical and aesthetically pleasing addition to any modern interior.

The 'Cone' pet bowl is made from a molded food-grade, non-toxic polymer and mineral composite. It is a full-volume object with dimensions of 330 x 315 x 108mm. The food container can hold up to 600ml, while the water container can hold up to 800ml. The bowl weighs 5kg, providing stability on any surface and preventing capsizing from eager pets.

One of the key challenges in designing the 'Cone' was to create a form that was friendly yet firm enough to guide the pet using it. The product needed to have a low center of gravity to prevent capsizing, and the form needed to be accentuated in both positive and negative space using a central focus point. The result is a product that is as functional as it is visually appealing.

The 'Cone' pet bowl is the result of extensive research and careful observation of different breeds drinking water. The design addresses the majority of spillage that occurs in front of the snout when the tongue hits the water and to the sides when water spills from the rolled tongue. The 'Cone' is more than just a pet bowl; it's a testament to the power of design in improving the lives of pets and their owners.

With its innovative design and practical functionality, the 'Cone' pet bowl by Vladimir Zagorac is truly a game-changer in pet care. It is a shining example of how design can transform everyday objects into extraordinary solutions.
