From buildings, clothes, household appliances to the small items that are carried around, everything is produced for the purpose of use. The shape of all items depends on their usage
So, have you ever thought about why the items that are common in our lives must be this shape?If we change it to another shape, could we continue the same function？
For example, upside down them. With this question, I designed this collection of tableware in order to explore the reason why the items in our daily life exist in such a form.
I put the bottles, goblets, coffee cups, plates and bowls upside down and gave them the corresponding capacity. The interior of the container is made of colored decorative ceramic process to highlight the space in which the container can be used. The exterior is a combination of spray paint glass and ceramics that allows the user to see the interior of the container. Each bottom edge of bowls and discs has an arc design for keeping easier in hand.
