The Design

About The Intelligent Eggshell Lamp Veilleuse en porcelaine

La lampe coquille d'œuf intelligente est une veilleuse en porcelaine qui associe la porcelaine coquille d'œuf façonnée à la main à la commande vocale. L'abat-jour est réalisé au terme de plus de quarante opérations, d'ébarbages et de gravures répétés et de trois cuissons, ce qui lui confère une épaisseur de paroi inférieure à 1 mm. Une fois la lampe allumée, les points, les lignes et les surfaces gravés scintillent tel un ciel nocturne. Le corps conique, aux courbes épousant la main, résiste au basculement. L'allumage et l'extinction s'effectuent à la voix, laissant les mains libres. Ce design entend faire revivre un artisanat populaire traditionnel.

Production Technology: The eggshell porcelain has to go through more than 40 working procedures and hundreds of times of repeated fettling and carving, burnt in three times, finally the thickness of the porcelain is within 1 mm.
Design Challenge: One of the challenges is to improve the qualified rate of good porcelain because it is too thin to keep the shape during firing. The other is how to assemble the porcelain lampshade onto the electronic components accurately.
Inspiration: We are a product design company from jingdezhen, a famous porcelain capital in China and abroad.
We found out that eggshell porcelain, in the past, was the best product for the emperor, with exquisite workmanship. However, at present, they are too traditional and old fashion to be liked by young people.
Therefore, we hope that through modern design language, these folk arts that may not conform to the functions and aesthetics of contemporary society can be revived.
