About Woodfire Collection Tafelware

Uit die syagtige ryk grond van Dehua, China, kom Woodfire voort, 'n nuwe beenporselein-reeks geïnspireer deur die ru skoonheid van gebrande hout. Geput uit die tydlose elegansie van hout, is elke stuk 'n unieke kunswerk wat die krag van vuurgesoende hout beliggaam. Woodfire vang die warmte en rustieke bekoring van 'n gesellige kaggel. Die versameling kom tot lewe deur 'n handgemaakte, tweedelige reaktiewe glasuur wat unieke, organiese patrone skep wat die effek van vuur op hout naboots. Aangebied in twee ryk kleure, Donker Eik en Antieke Den, straal elkeen 'n gedurfde karakter uit asof hergebore deur die beproewing van vuur.

Meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans, each ceramic piece is a unique work of art. WoodFire is thoughtfully shaped with fluid, organic curves that evoke the natural movement of wood, enhancing rustic charm while maintaining exceptional durability.

Production Technology: WoodFire is crafted from Luzerne's signature blend of clay sourced from Dehua, China, known for its purity and durability. Its production involves hand moulding, followed by the creation of a plaster master mould. Our specially formulated clay is then shaped using a casting technique that integrates both craftsmanship and automation.

The glazing process employs a handcrafted, two-part reactive glaze technique to create unique, organic patterns mimicking the effect of fire on wood, and ensuring no two pieces are alike. The glaze not only enhances visual appeal but also adds protection against stains and scratches. Sculpted with fluid, subtle curves, each item evokes the natural movement of wood.
Design Challenge: The glazing effect of the WoodFire collection is usually found only in small pottery studios. However, we have successfully replicated this design in our factory using machinery for mass production. Despite the industrial process, each piece is unique, ensuring that no two are alike. This approach preserves the distinctive qualities and artistry of handcrafted pottery.
Research: The primary focus of this project was to achieve a one-of-a-kind, authentic wood-like appearance for the WoodFire collection. Research centered on glaze techniques, leading to the use of a handcrafted, two-part reactive glaze method. Numerous tests and trials were conducted to refine this technique, ensuring a finish that embodies the natural essence of wood with artisanal craftsmanship.
Inspiration: The WoodFire Collection is inspired by the raw elegance of fired wood. It tells the story of transformation – raw material shaped and reborn through the trial of fire. Drawing from the timeless beauty of wood, each piece is a unique work of art that embodies the strength and elegance of fire-kissed timber. WoodFire captures the warmth and rustic charm of a cozy fireplace, bringing a welcoming ambience to any setting. Handcrafted to achieve an authentic wood-like aesthetic, WoodFire stands bold, evoking the essence of nature's power.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2023 and finished in February 2024 in Singapore.
Operation Flow: Users operate the tableware by placing food or beverages on/in the objects, such as plates, bowls, or cups. Its operation is simple and intuitive, designed for serving and consuming food. WoodFire transforms in its use and presentation. Items can be stacked for storage, and used interchangeably . For example, bowls can be served on different plates, and cups can be paired with different saucers depending on the setting. WoodFire’s rimmed surfaces ensure comfortable handling and stability when in use, whether for dining or serving.
