About Track Ntchito Yaikulu: Zida Zakudya

Mawu a M'buku: Track ndi gulu la zida zakudya zopangidwa ndi dothi lowumbidwa (ceramic) lomwe limaphatikizapo mbale, makapu ndi mbiya za maluwa. Mapangidwe ake ndi osavuta ndipo mitundu yake ndi yowala. Malo oyera amapindika pa chinthu chilichonse ngati kuzizira ndi chisanu chikuyenda, ndipo kamangidwe kokwera ndi kutsika kamapangitsa malire kukhala omveka bwino. Gululi limapangidwa mwa njira youmba ndi mtundu (mould casting) ndipo limaphikidwa pa kutentha kwa madigiri 1250 Celsius. Mapangidwe amene amasintha mosavuta amathandizidwa ndi alumina pa nthawi yophika pa kutentha kwakukulu, kenaka amapakidwa utoto (glaze) ndikuphikidwanso. Kapangidwe kake kamakhalabe kachete ndi kodzichepetsa, kotero kuti chakudya chimakhalabe pachimake pa phwando.

Unique Properties: This set of utensils includes plates, water cups, flower utensils, etc. They have a simple shape, bright colors. The white trajectory is like ice and snow sliding, and the outline is more clearly depicted as the structure rises and falls.
Dimensions & Packaging: Cup #1: 75*75*90mm, Cup#2: 85*85*70mm, Floral vessel#1: 80*60*280mm, Floral vessel#2: 80*120*180mm, Plate#1: 290*140*18mm, Plate#2: 180*180*20mm.
Tags: Ceramics Design, Tableware, Porcelain，Digital Art，Handcraft
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.
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.
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.
