Txog Clay and Sway by Duali Khob dej

Duali qhov kev xav nrog Clay thiab Sway lub khob yog los tsim ib qho kev sib tham ntawm ob yam sib tawm tsam tab sis sib haum xeeb, qhov txias, nyob ruaj khov ntawm porcelain (av nplaum) nrog qhov mos, txav mus los ntawm tej pob paj (sway). Qhov nyuaj yog los tsim ib yam khoom uas tsis yog tsuas zaum saum lub rooj xwb tab sis nyob ntawm nws. Ib qho kev tshawb nrhiav txog seb ib yam khoom nyob twj ywm yuav ua li cas thiaj muaj txoj sia. Cov qauv ncua av splattered ntawm tes ntawm lub khob ua kom tsis muaj ob lub khob zoo sib xws. Cov pob paj ces raug khi ntawm tes rau hauv cov qhov tho kom ntseeg tau tias muaj kev txuas huv si thiab ncaj ncees ntawm ob yam khoom.

Yam Tshwj Xeeb: Clay and Sway mug is a minimalist porcelain canvas, made dramatic with spontaneous, hand splattered ink pattern which ensures no two mugs are ever identical. The half-moon handle has textile tassels which are not merely glued on. The tassels are meticulously threaded and hand-tied into the precision-drilled apertures which are integrated directly into the handle during its formation. This is a first-of-its kind mug which fuses porcelain and textile into a functional coffee mug.
Qhov Loj & Ntim: The product dimensions with the handle are 292mm x 76mm x 89mm. We used 3D modelling software for prototyping of handle ergonomics and traditional clay modelling to understand weight and balance. The handle’s specific curvature and the tassel’s weight were meticulously calculated and prototyped using 3D modelling to ensure the perfect balance, preventing any tipping or strain on the wrist. Each tassel is hand-tied and cut to precision to maintain the length with the mug body.
Cov Ntsiab Lus: clay and sway, coffeemugcouture, mug with charms, tassels mug, coffee mug with charms
Thev Naus Laus Zis Tsim Khoom: Our product is entirely handmade from fine porcelain. Each mug is individually hand splattered with glaze which ensures no two mugs are ever identical. Each mug body is individually slip-cast, followed by the manual attachment of its handle. We then drill the handle's apertures before the piece undergoes a patient, multi-day air-drying process. The final assembly is an entirely manual stage: skilled artisans, who specialise in intricate thread work, personally tie every tassel to the cured porcelain, ensuring each mug meets our standards of craftsmanship.
Kev Sib Tw Tsim Qauv: Finding the right textile for the mug that is so functional in use was one of the hardest challenge. Our objective was to identify a material with three key performance attributes - exceptional colorfastness, rapid drying capabilities, and shape retention. After subjecting a wide range of textiles to rigorous and repeated wash cycles, we successfully finalized a specialized thread that meets these demanding criteria, ensuring both the beauty and longevity of the final product.
Kev Tshawb Fawb: Our research objective was to understand technical feasibility, see the market uniqueness, check durability and to understand the user experience. Over eight months, we subjected over 20 different types of textile threads to a series of aging tests. The primary test involved repeated washing cycles in a standard washing machine for the colour bleed, shape deformation and drying time. We used 3D modelling software for rapid prototyping of handle ergonomics to understand weight and balance. The handle’s specific curvature and the tassel’s weight were meticulously calculated and prototyped using 3D modelling to ensure the perfect balance, preventing any tipping or strain on the wrist. We then conducted sessions with a curated group of 20 participants, comprising design professionals, home decor enthusiasts, and daily coffee drinkers.
Kev Txhawb Siab: Why must our most-used daily objects be purely utilitarian? Why can’t they possess the sensory richness, the engagement and personality we expect from couture fashion? We envisioned an object that would not just sit on a table, but live on it. The concept was to create a dialogue between two opposing elements, the cool and rigid permanence of porcelain(clay) and the soft, dynamic movement of textiles(sway). An exploration of how a static object can be imbued with a sense of life.
Lub Sij Hawm Ua Hauj Lwm: The ideation of the mug started in July 2024 and the mug was launched in June 2025. The entire mug is handmade in our Duali Studio in India and the textile artisans who specialise in thread work have finished the tassel work in their workshop. Our production is a multi-stage process where semi-finished porcelain bodies are transported to be paired with tassels. They are then packaged back in the studio and are ready for dispatch.
Txheej Txheem Ua Hauj Lwm: The function of a mug is to hold a beverage. We transformed its true function from a mundane moment to a sensory experience. The entirely non-adhesive method of attaching the tassels ensures a clean, secure and honest connection between the two materials - porcelain and textile.
Cov Patent: This design has an Indian Registration. Indian Registration number is 463008-001.
