“according to the designers, easterners commonly believe that small changes
of an individual person or object can make big impact on the larger society, thus,
leading to a modest and totalitarian culture. this social tendency described as a
‘ripple effect’ was translated here into tea ceremony table.”

These ceramic/chalk piggy banks by Ladies and Gentlemen are pretty sweet in and of themselves, but i’m more interesting in daydreaming about the possibilities of the fact that it’s “Constructed from silky-smooth pigmented ceramic that allows it’s body to be drawn on time and again.” Yummy possibilities…
For your friday morning coffee break here’s some cool design work out of Poland.
Selection of ceramic works by 10 young designers from Warsaw’s Fine Arts Academy Design Department. The projects were realised in the ceramic workshop lead by Justyna Bąbel-Piktel. The collection – consisting of objects produced in short series – is a result of explorations in the field of searching for new forms, functions and applications for ceramics. The objects are everyday household products – smart, surprising and beautiful. And most of all, ready for use.
