scale for street markets
Vendors on Uruguayen street markets use imported scales, which are not suitable for their working conditions.
Their scales are neither designed for mobile use, nor for workers, who are not trained in dealing with sophisticated electronic devices. In some cases, they manage to adapt and to improve the scales by adding pieces.
The new design for street market scales takes into account: outdoors use, battery system, resistant to constant movement, user-friendliness;
The new scales provide a concave container for goods, which functions also as a protective lid. Its aesthetics is taken from baskets containing vegetables.
