Fa'amaoniaga, sui o le 'au ma fa'amatalaga fa'atekinisi na saunia e le tagata mamanu.

Uiga Fa'apitoa: After 3000 years, the spoon is reconsidered through patented origami engineering. Polygons compresses a complete measuring set into a 0.1 inch sheet that forms six calibrated volumes - 0.5, 1, and 2 Tbsp on the large sheet, and 0.25, 0.5, and 1 tsp on the small; wipes clean, and magnetically sticks to the refrigerator. Engineered for over 100,000 bend cycles and up to 80 percent lower material and freight waste, it unites precision, durability, aesthetics, and sustainability in a single design.
Fua & Fa'apipi'i: CAPACITY
Large spoon: 0.5 Tbsp, 1 Tbsp, 2 Tbsp
Small spoon: 0.25 tsp, 0.5 tsp, 1 tsp

MATERIALS
Food grade thermoplastic, food grade hydrophobic silicone, embedded neodymium magnets

DIMENSIONS
Large spoon: 180 x 54 x 2.8 mm
Small spoon: 108 x 30.3 x 2.8 mm

WEIGHT
Large spoon: 31.5 g
Small spoon: 12 g
Fa'ailoga: Folding measuring spoon, Fold flat measuring spoon, Origami measuring spoon set, Polygons measuring spoon, Polygons 3 in 1 spoon, Adjustable measuring spoon, Collapsible measuring spoon, Space saving measuring spoon, Magnetic flat measuring spoons, Patented measuring spoon
Tekonolosi Gaosiga: Polygons required three years of development and more than 1000 prototypes to translate origami geometry into a durable, washable kitchen tool. A multilayer construction combines food grade thermoplastic, silicone living hinges, and embedded rare earth magnets. Each hinge varies in thickness to control folding with tolerances near 0.1 mm, enabling precise volumes and durability beyond 100,000 cycles with no separate moving parts or assembly.
Lu'itau o le Mamanu: The core challenge was translating paper origami into a durable consumer product. Unlike paper, the system had to withstand repeated washing, food contact, and more than 100000 folding cycles without fatigue. Achieving this required precise hinge engineering, magnet integration, and volumetric calibration within injection molded geometry. By consolidating six measurements into two inseparable components, Polygons shifts the category from incremental improvement to structural reinvention.
Su'esu'ega: Type of research: practice based industrial design research integrating materials engineering and user interaction.
Objective: replace bulky nested spoons with a planar system.

Methodology: iterative prototyping of crease maps and hinge systems.

Tools: CAD, 3D printing, mold trials, fatigue testing beyond 100,000 folds.

Participants: home & professional cooks and students.

Result: patented planar measuring tool.

Impact: less material, lower freight footprint, reduced food waste.
Fa'aosofia: Polygons was inspired by the most ancient and universal measuring tool - the human hand. Long before utensils existed, the hand's instinctive ability to shift from flat to cupped allowed people to measure and transfer materials, such as cupping water from a stream, scooping grains from a sack, or portioning herbs and spices by feel. A flat hand transforms into a functional volume with a simple natural gesture.
Umi o le Poloketi: The project's manufacturing R&D and refinement spanned 3 years across India and China. Extensive development focused on multi-layer live-hinge optimization, volumetric calibration, tooling precision, and large-scale manufacturing validation to make durable origami-based products commercially viable.

The product was officially launched to consumers in Q4 2024 and is currently in global distribution.
Fa'agasologa o Galuega: Polygons rests flat on the fridge, in a drawer, or used as a bookmark inside your recipe book.
Intuitively, the position you pick it up from determines its volume - lift from a marked point and it folds into that exact measure, secured by the satisfying click of magnets.
After use, it opens flat to clean with just a wipe, reducing water and soap usage.
After scooping and flattening, it can also spread and scrape off viscous ingredients like honey, minimizing food waste.
Pateni: Patented.
