The Impact of Investigating Eating Habits on The Creativity of Designing Glass Tableware by using Islamic motifs

social eating habits vary from one area to another and from one level to another and from one country to another, and from one age to another, also these habits influence by types of foods offered and quantities, for example, coastal zones eat too much fish differ from rural areas who eat too much rice, poultry, red meat and cooked vegetables, each have different requirements when serving their kinds of food.
Having food together habits also differ from villages and cities and the Bedouins, and the attitude when eating, tools and utensils used related to the types of foods in each place, and ways of serve and time for it, Is it for everyday use or for occasions and various holidays, which is followed by the use of various shapes, sizes and colors that are consistent with consumers' lifestyles according to the nature of the food, customs and occasions.
hence we find that the consumer needs for more tableware designs that help satisfy his and his family's needs. And cover their habits in eating and drinking, which vary from one to another territory.
developing new distinguished products has gain great importance to the companies by serving markets, so that these new products are a potential source of raising corporate economics by offset slow growth and lack of profits that happens because of existing products in the maturity phase in their life cycles. As studies have shown that 25% of corporate profits come mostly from new products introduced in the last three years[1]. As these companies with renewable premium products, which tracks the needs of their client have priority in the selection of its position in the market.
This research deals the link between consumers' needs and designing tableware using some Islamic motifs that achieves sort of family bonding on the Egyptian dining table as well as to meet desires of designers in creativity through studying these needs and try to meet them.
