About The Intelligent Eggshell Lamp 磁器製ナイトライト

「インテリジェント・エッグシェル・ランプ」は、手仕事による卵殻磁器と音声操作を融合させた磁器製ナイトライトである。シェードは四十を超える工程を経て、繰り返しの削り出しと彫刻、三度の焼成によって成形され、肉厚は1mm以内に仕上げられている。彫り込まれた点・線・面は、灯りをともすと夜空のように輝く。先細りの本体は手に馴染む曲線を描き、転倒しにくい形状となっている。音声によって点灯・消灯できるため、手をふさぐことがない。本デザインは、伝統的な民間工芸の再興を目指している。

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.
Project Duration: The project started in February 2019 in Jingdezhen and finished in December 2019 in Jingdezhen.
