The Wicker bread basket was designed by Cecilie Manz for the Danish manufacturer Muuto. When taking a look at the material though, one could say: Tradition meets Modernity.
Inspired by the texture left in a yoghurt while eating it with a spoon, the Carved Bowls are a set of solid wood pin trays that combine with different sized concave areas.
Ott-chil is a type of Korean lacquer technique that is done by adding the secretions of the “Ott” tree, released as a protective response to wounds.
Fully thought out, produced and finalized at Krux Amsterdam, each “Mangos” fruti basket was laser-cut in large plates of colored polyurethane foam and then assembled by hand by François Dumas.
What is a vase? How does it work? Those were simple questions Decha Archjananun asked herself for this historical object which was created since Neolithic period. She found that, all the vases in the world have a same basic principle to hold flowers.
Milly Dent has fast become known for her distinctive marbling effects and geometric pattern work that challenge conventional expectations of tableware. Inspired by the natural world, her vessels invariably display a whirlpool of inky blues frozen in the fluidity in which they are created, resulting in an organic, yet contemporary aesthetic.
Developed at ECAL, this project explore the traditional techniques usually used for crystal glass like cutting, engraving, gilding
Alvar Aalto’s Savoy vase is one of the most famous vases in history. Designed in 1936 for a competition at the Paris World’s Fair, Finnish architect and furniture designer Alvar Aalto anonymously entered and won the competition for his vase under the pseudonym “Eskimo woman’s leather breeches”.
The production techniques are primitive. Each object is handmade with plastics casted in sand molds. The objects present focus on simplicity and confront our views of modern civilization.
Maiko Okuno is a Japanese lacquer artist and woodworker who produces a mixture of functional objects at her studio in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan.
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.
Every component of Obtineo is made in the UK by skilled craftsmen, using traditional manufacturing methods. The scooped wood is turned solid ash, which are sanded and finished before branding it with our logo. Obtineo’s wool felt strip is produced in one of Britain’s few remaining felt factories.
A simple pot hand-cast in water based resin. Each lid is embellished using a simple ‘polish on water’ process commonly used to temporarily demonstrate light refraction.
This is a paper bowl that enfolds air. You can freely change its shape by molding it into a dish, a small bowl or a vase according to the intended usage.
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.
Reversed volumes are bowls that are shaped by capturing the imprint of a fruit/vegetable. The space between a vessel and a fruit/vegetable is filled with ceramics.
Blueware is a collection of ceramics with cyanotypes, a process of capturing direct impressions of botanical specimens on earthenware, using photosensitive chemicals.
How many times have we had to break the biscuits to dip it in a bowl full of milk?
Many people choose to crush and eat with a spoon. These inadequacy behaviors arise from the cookie to the glasses / cups, or vice versa. Studio Entresuelo 1a came up with a good inspiration in order to solve the problem.
