Popo
Popo is a tableware collection made of bone china. The set includes a soup tureen, a teapot, a sugar pot, a creamer, cups and salt and pepper shakers. The forms are minimal and abstract, inspired by imaginary creatures with small legs resting on a table. Bone china gives the pieces transparency, lightness and high strength. All items are shaped by casting, using a slurry that contains fifty percent bone powder. The bodies are spherical and free of negative angles. The center of gravity is calculated so that each piece stands stable, and the handles follow ergonomic principles.
