CONTRAST

 The first product lacks contrast. Even though the wood and the ceramic are contrasting materials, they whole look seems very plain and lack of drama. The silhouette does not contribute to contrast of the product either. The edges are rounded with fillets, and the cutouts are composed of ambiguous curves, which made this watch lack of contrast and less eye catching. The proportion between the watch body and strap is also not surprising and placed in an expected way.

As for the second product. It is a food grater. Usually, food graters are bulky/cubic shape with sharp corners to express durability and  strength. As for this particular food grater, it is made out of one piece of silicone wrapped around the metal grind, which is a surprising material for a food grater. Also, the fact that the tool is bendable/flexible makes this design unique and the concept of contrast materials (silicone and steel) also compliments the usability. The silhouette created by folding the food grater and the curve of the steel is contrast to the fact that this is something hard and rough and it grits food into pieces. Also, the silicone is soft and harmless while being gripped by one's hand. That is also a contrast to the utility of the food grater.
