The project embodies the juxtaposition between colliding elements such as the precision of 3d printing with the fragile elegancy of its linework, the traditional formal imagery of the tableware, expressed through contemporary aesthetics and the severity of the design flow.
It is an openly emotional design dictated by raw expressionism and romantic ornamental quality with respect to the functionality of each piece. The aim is the creation of something that looks and feels familiar but it is not.
