When wicker is produced, craftsman has wove one by one manually along the mold. Kunikazu Hamanishi thought if we can create different kinds of molds, craftsman would be able to weave various shaped wickers.
Ronan and Erwan were seeking to express the purity of glass blowing in this simple diamond shape. Glass is a material that likes round shapes. When hot it flows like honey and does not like to be pulled into a very precise geometric shape. By developing the strict shape they are reaching the limits of the material, and using the highest level of the Iittala glass-blowing expertise.
Natural Finish is a reflection on natural decoration. It is a series of very porous white ceramic vases which were left in natural spaces in the middle of nowhere for a year.
With industrialization porcelain reached the next stage of its evolution. Less complex forms and patterns and more standardized and practical products evolved characterized by smooth well-processed surfaces. The objective of the industry consists in manufacturing everyday objects in serial production. These goods are not distinguishable from each other anymore and cope with the need for normativity.
Seams collection stems from the studio’s research into creating mass-produced products with one off details by manipulating a traditional ceramic manufacturing process. They began the project with a study into the slip casting process to establish how it could be utilised to introduce decorative elements to the product without a secondary decorating process. The components of the mould can be rotated to various positions for every piece produced, meaning no two are identical.

Focused on materiality and craft, proportion and production. The making of controls the shape of the glass and works similar to a three-dimensional sketch, resulting in individual glassware.
Else is a project dealing with the gaps between craft and design. The aim of this project was to create different and authentic ceramic surfaces. By creating a different working technique that does not require molds she was able to design free forms that are not restricted by parting lines and pouring points, she was also able to get different and diverse surfaces. By using sponge models and dipping them into especially composed porcelain mix the mold was eliminated from the process and a new kind of surface was created.
Designer Ariane Prin graduated in 2011 at the Royal College of Art of London has built a manually operated device to create unique cups. As the user rotates the artifact, the liquid clay drips drips into the molds and creates the porcelain cups with a different pattern showing each splash.
Porcelain Vase is a formally convincing and almost technical-seeming cone. Divided by three legs, its conical body provides an ideal base and remains stable even when used with long-stemmed plants.
