About Hangzhou Elements Tafelgereistel
Hangzhou Elements is 'n stel porseleinkoppies en pierings geïnspireer deur die kultuur van Hangzhou. Die blou-en-wit patrone kombineer die toneel van die Drie Poele wat die Maan Weerspieël in die Weste-meer met motiewe van die Liangzhu-kultuur. Elke stuk word met tradisionele Jingdezhen-vakmanskap vervaardig en teen 1300 grade Celsius gebak, wat die versiering lewendig en die materiaal duursaam hou. 'n Gekontoerde handvatsel en 'n onreëlmatige piering verbeter die gemak tydens gebruik. Die versameling is bedoel vir daaglikse gebruik en as feestelike geskenke.

- Production Technology
- Utilizing traditional Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain craftsmanship, the work is fired at a high temperature of 1300°C. This rigorous process ensures the patterns remain permanently vibrant and the material exceptionally durable.
- Design Challenge
- The primary challenge lay in seamlessly integrating Hangzhou cultural motifs with Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain craftsmanship. The objective was to elevate both utility and cultural expression through the design of irregularly shaped cups and saucers alongside ergonomic handles. This required navigating the tension between traditional aesthetics and modern convenience, while technically ensuring the structural stability of these non standard forms during high temperature firing.
- Research
- Reimagining blue and white porcelain, this project blends West Lake Three Pools scenery with Liangzhu heritage. Fired at 1300 degrees Celsius using Jingdezhen techniques, it ensures permanent vibrancy. The design features an irregular saucer and ergonomic handle, balancing aesthetics with utility while resolving stability challenges in firing non standard forms. Beyond function, the collection serves as a cultural vessel and ideal festive gift, embodying the regional identity of Hangzhou.
- Inspiration
- The natural and cultural landscapes of Hangzhou West Lake, the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, and the history of Liangzhu Culture and intangible cultural heritage.
- Project Duration
- The project originated in Hangzhou, with a development cycle spanning from October to December 2025.
- Operation Flow
- The design prioritizes structural ergonomics, featuring a uniquely contoured cup handle paired with an irregularly shaped saucer. This configuration not only enhances usability but also amplifies the visual impact of the cultural narrative. Positioned as a vessel for Hangzhou heritage, the set serves as an ideal festive gift, deepening the connection of the recipient to the distinct cultural identity of the region.
