Track is a ceramic tableware set that includes plates, cups and flower vessels. The forms are simple and the colors are bright. White surfaces curve across each piece like sliding ice and snow, and the rising and falling structure makes the outlines clearer. The set is produced by ceramic mould casting and fired to 1250 degrees Celsius. Shapes that deform easily are supported with alumina during high temperature firing, then glazed and fired again. The design stays quiet and modest, so the food remains the focus of the meal.

- Production Technology
- The work is made of ceramic mould casting technique. Fired to 1250℃.
- Design Challenge
- The main difficulty in the development of the project was the deformation of the ceramic material. In solving this, I used a high temperature firing and low temperature glaze firing method for extremely deformable forms. The pieces are brazed with alumina during the high temperature firing process and then glazed for a third firing after shaping.
- Project Duration
- Started in June 2022 and finished in August.
- Operation Flow
- The work serves everyday life and is an expression of refined living and joie de vivre.
- Research
- Type of research: applied research, Research Objectives: tableware, Methodology: computer-aided design, Data collection: market research and questionnaires, Experiment: perception of the use of the piece, Results: the design in its shape makes the consumer more eager to buy and the meal experience becomes relaxed and enjoyable.
- Inspiration
- Dining times are often warm and beautiful, and a pleasant set of tableware can make the real thing more delicious. Tableware is the coat of food, so tableware design should not be noisy, but should be quiet and modest.
