About Attimo Sett Tat-Te

Is-sett tat-te Attimo (li jfisser "mument") huwa magħmul minn kina tal-għadam b'ħitan irqaq tal-ewwel klassi. Il-metafora tal-forma tal-oġġetti hija mument ta’ żmien imwaqqaf. Il-manku-ġebel jaqa 'fuq il-wiċċ lixx tal-porċellana, u joħloq "ċirku fuq l-ilma" ġiri tul l-oġġett. Allura kull mess għall-manku huwa mess għal ħin iffriżat. Din il-forma asimmetrika kumplessa tal-oġġetti tas-servizz hija speċjalment diffiċli meta tiġi implimentata fil-porċellana. Madankollu, l-użu tat-teknika tal-manku vojta minn ġewwa, korrezzjoni proattiva tad-deformazzjonijiet tal-isparar, għamilha possibbli li tinkiseb ġeometrija ideali.

Unique Properties: This form was created in an attempt to capture the moment. The handle-stone "falls" on the porcelain and creates circles running across the surface of the object. This frozen picture gives rise to the illusion that the solid material becomes soft and pliable, the same as the original kaolin clay from which the objects were made.Thus, every time in the everyday use of the utilitarian items of the set, we touch the frozen moment.
Dimensions & Packaging: Teapot 150 x 95 x 165mm 633g 600ml. Sugar bowl 110 x 110 x 80mm 382g 300mll. Cup 72 x 72 x 85mm 210g 220ml
Tags: Tea set, Teapot, Cup, Sugar bowl, Tableware, Porcelain
Production Technology: Bone china. This material was chosen instead of traditional porcelain in order to gain more control over the stability of the shape during the firing process, as well as to reduce the wall thickness and reduce weight.
Design Challenge: The complex asymmetric shape of service items is difficult to implement in porcelain. It is especially difficult to achieve stable quality when creating a large number of products. However, the choice of bone china as the material, the use of the hollow handle technique, and the proactive correction of deformations during firing, made it possible to achieve an ideal geometry. Thus, the implementation of the points is fully consistent with the concept.
Research: An important step in the design research was to find a handle shape that would resemble a stone, but at the same time maintain a balance with technology and ease of use. We also searched for the ratio of the handle size and the wave amplitude on the surface, and its attenuation. The found shape corresponds to the general idea of the project, but at the same time resists deformation during firing.
Inspiration: The philosophy of the present moment.
The beauty of every moment.
Slow movement.
Project Duration: The project started in 2019 and finished in 2020 in Saint-Petersburg, Russia.
Operation Flow: Unusual for traditional porcelain, the handle has a complex bionic shape with variable thickness. This makes the use of the set items very ergonomic, suitable for different people. At the same time, the handle is a good thermal insulator due to the fact that it is hollow inside.
