About the Bronze A' Design Award
The Bronze A' Design Award is given to outstanding designs that showcase a high degree of creativity and practicality. It recognizes the dedication and skill of designers who produce work that stands out for its thoughtful development and innovative use of materials and technology. These designs are acknowledged for their professional execution and potential to influence industry standards positively. Winning this award highlights the designer's ability to blend form and function effectively, offering solutions that enhance people's lives and wellbeing.
Regarding Track Tableware
Track is a ceramic tableware set that includes plates, cups and flower vessels. The forms are simple and the colors are bright. White surfaces curve across each piece like sliding ice and snow, and the rising and falling structure makes the outlines clearer. The set is produced by ceramic mould casting and fired to 1250 degrees Celsius. Shapes that deform easily are supported with alumina during high temperature firing, then glazed and fired again. The design stays quiet and modest, so the food remains the focus of the meal.
Award Record
This recognition makes Xin Wang a winner of 1 A' Design Award.
