The new way to hold it tight
There is a tradition of two elements, put together, in order to create a
widespread device of everyday life, the cup.
We know the variety of handles and the innumerable formats of cups.
The combinations of these two parts make up the history of cups.
Instead of joining two elements, I became interested in the idea of
shaping the groundplan of a cup by the movement of a line and
translating it into three dimensions. The result is a unit.
The guiding spirit is far more architectural, because the line finally
creates two compartments, defining the handle and the vessel.
After a serie of prototypes I started with two versions.
Others might be published later on.
So here are TRISTAN and ISOLDE
TRISTAN
ISOLDE
Both cups are available for right-handed and left-handed people.
They are made from highfired stoneware clay.
The inside carries a certificated transparent glaze.
The glaze of the surface changes according to the editions.
