Ripples

Ripples is a collection of serving trays designed for use at home and outdoors. The trays explore perception and reflection, and they change the way a space is seen.

The forms are made by three-dimensional printing and are then painted. Two sizes are offered, 40 by 40 by 3.8 centimeters and 22 by 22 by 2.5 centimeters. The collection uses an experimental approach to color and visual presentation.

Restless Chopsticks

Uma is a Hong Kong venture capital company focused on creative economies. Restless chopsticks were designed as a memento object, representing the company's value of investing resources to make a change. The company logo resembles a pulse on a flat line, which was embedded into a flat-lined chopstick. The front part of a chopstick is always lifted up and kept away from the table surface, removing the need for the chopstick rest. The Pulse is designed to always remain sufficiently apart, not to collide, and is functionally valid for picking the food up, down to the most demanding small bites.

Track

Track is a ceramic tableware set that includes plates, cups and flower vessels. The forms are simple and the colors are bright. White surfaces curve across each piece like sliding ice and snow, and the rising and falling structure makes the outlines clearer. The set is produced by ceramic mould casting and fired to 1250 degrees Celsius. Shapes that deform easily are supported with alumina during high temperature firing, then glazed and fired again. The design stays quiet and modest, so the food remains the focus of the meal.

Lotus

Lotus is a set of porcelain tableware inspired by the lotus flower bowls of the Changsha kiln. The traditional lotus pattern is abstracted into simple geometric forms and applied to plates of different heights and sizes. When the plates are stacked by size, the lotus pattern appears, so the set becomes a decorative object during storage. The pieces can be separated and recombined for serving as needed. Patterns of auspicious objects from the Tang Dynasty suit different occasions. The porcelain is glazed in celadon green and shaped by hand.

Suggestions

Suggestions is a porcelain tableware collection made for professional kitchens. Each piece answers a practical serving need rather than a formal idea. One dish holds ice above a hidden reservoir, so melted water is kept away from the food. A second version holds dry ice to cool dishes such as sushi and release a light vapour. Another item keeps caviar on ice without mixing the two. Plates with an irregular dot texture separate meat juices from the food. Small porcelain trays allow guests to eat comfortably while standing. Reactive glazes were developed for the collection.

Epi-Happy

Epi-Happy is a small centerpiece for the office desks and dinner tables of tomorrow.

The continuity of space also helps it act as a cable holder, or it can be instantly transformed into an anti-stress device as well. Just throw a ball and try to roll it around.
