de(ux) luxe_porcelain-set

four key aspects are decisive in the design and manufacture of the two porcelain
sets:

-material

with its haptic (mat surface on the outside/ glaze on the inside) it speaks immediately and a direct way.

the light comes to this quality in addition to the porcelain's own translucency. the led-light supports this.

an object, a light source which gives the room another (light) dimesion.

-design

shape with a clear geometry, with precise interventions and interferences, a collage of cone stumps.

but this is not just a formal plane but the geometry becomes a 'humen one', about proportions as well as about usability, benefits and sensuality.

-ergonomics

the geometry, respectively the constellation of the individual (sub-) body leads the hand to the correct position, to the safe grip and also seduces to touch.

-manufacture
we do not rely on industrial but on a manufacturative production. In order to achieve a strong presence of the individual parts as well as of the whole.
