About Popo Conxunto de vaixela

Popo é unha colección de vaixela feita de porcelana de óso. O conxunto inclúe unha sopeira, unha teteira, un azucreiro, unha xerra de leite, cuncas e saleiros e pementeiros. As formas son minimalistas e abstractas, inspiradas en criaturas imaxinarias con pequenas patas que repousan sobre unha mesa. A porcelana de óso confire ás pezas transparencia, lixeireza e alta resistencia. Todas as pezas fórmanse por vertido en molde, empregando unha barbotina que contén un cincuenta por cento de po de óso. Os corpos son esféricos e carecen de ángulos negativos. O centro de gravidade está calculado para que cada peza se manteña estable, e as asas seguen principios ergonómicos.
