About Water Droplet سێتی قاوە

دڵۆپی ئاو سێتێکی قاوەیە کە لە شێوە خڕەکەی دڵۆپی ئاوەوە ئیلهامی وەرگرتووە. سێتەکە پێکدێت لە قۆریی قاوە، کوپی قاوە، ژێرکوپ و قاپێکی میوە. هەر پارچەیەک لە قوڕی پۆرسلین دروستکراوە، لە قاڵبی جەسی داڕێژراوە کە لە مۆدێلێکی ڕەزینی چاپکراوی سێ ڕەهەندی وەرگیراوە و لە پلەی گەرمی ١٢٥٠ پلەی سیلیزی سووتێنراوە. دەسکە چەماوەکە گرتنێکی ئاسوودە دەبەخشێت، و خاڵی بەریەککەوتنی نێوان دەسکەکە و مێزەکە جێگیری زیاتر بە قۆرییەکە دەدات. سەرپۆشەکە هیچ دەسکێکی دەرپەڕیوی نییە و چەمانەوەیەکی بەرەو ناوەوە بەکاردەهێنێت، بۆیە شێوەی دڵۆپەکە بە تەواوی دەمێنێتەوە.

Unique Properties: 'The harmony of water and fire, united by earth' - ceramics, a product of water, fire, and earth, relies heavily on water during its production and use. Water makes ceramics mellow, while ceramics make water lively. The work includes a coffee pot, coffee cups, saucers, and a fruit plate. The design of the work takes water as its source and showcases its different forms, including roundness, fullness, and flow.

Design Challenge: The main problems addressed by this design are: firstly, how to integrate the form of water into the design of the utensil, expressing the natural fluidity of water while fulfilling its practical functions. The solution lies in the use of different forms of water in the design of different utensils to achieve the integration of form and function. Secondly, how to achieve a good combination of ceramic and metal materials. The smooth ceramic glaze and the metal are prone to detachment during adhesion. To address this, a non-glazed treatment is applied to the adhesion area during production to increase the friction between the ceramic and the metal.
Research: Research type: Ceramic product design; Research objective: To provide better service vessels for daily life using ceramics as the material; Research method: Combining the art and science of industrial design, imitating the external forms and symbolic meanings of biological organisms and natural materials, and applying them to design through appropriate artistic processing techniques. From a humanistic perspective, the research pursues a diverse design integration and innovation that embodies the dialectical and materialist symbiotic aesthetic concept, not only in material aspects but also in spiritual aspects, between tradition and modernity, nature and humanity, individuality and the masses.
Inspiration: The work 'Water Droplet' takes inspiration from water droplets, with each vessel born from water and integrated with it. Although not an overt depiction of water droplets, it allows viewers to experience the dynamism of water. It seems as though round water droplets are placed right before one's eyes, and the smooth shape transmits a gentle and comfortable feeling during use.
Project Duration: This work finished in 2020 in Nanjing, China
Operation Flow: The work provides users with more practical coffee utensils. The curved handle offers a better grip, and the support point created by the handle and the table enhances the stability of the coffee pot. The lid design eliminates a protruding knob and uses an inward-curved arc to maintain the integrity of the water droplet shape of the coffee pot to the maximum extent. The saucers and fruit plate also add richer functional experiences to the coffee time.
