About Attimo Iseti Yeti

I-Attimo (ethetha "umzuzwana") iseti yeti yenziwe nge-china yodidi lokuqala olubhityileyo olunamathambo. Isafobe semilo yezinto ngumzuzu omisiweyo wexesha. Ilitye lomqheba liwela kumphezulu ogudileyo weporcelain, kwaye lenze "izangqa emanzini" ukubaleka ecaleni kwento. Ngoko ke yonke into yokubamba isiphatho kukuchukumisa ixesha elinomkhenkce. Le milo enzima ye-asymmetric yezinto zenkonzo inzima kakhulu xa iphunyezwa kwi-porcelain. Nangona kunjalo, ukusetyenziswa kobuchule bokubamba umngxuma, ulungiso olusebenzayo lweziphene zokudubula, zenze ukuba kube lula ukufikelela kwijometri efanelekileyo.

The Recognition

About the Ibhaso Legolide le-A' Design Award

Attimo Iseti Yeti ngumphumeleli weIbhaso Legolide le-A' Design Award, ukuqatshelwa okuhlonitshwayo kakhulu okunikwa imiyilo yeklasi yokuqala, ephawulekayo nentle. Abaphumeleleyo beGolide ziimveliso ezintsha kakhulu, ezinombono ongaphaya nezikhazimlayo ezibonisa ubuchule, ubulumko nobuchule babayili bazo. Attimo Iseti Yeti iyathenjwa ukuba ibe yimveliso edunyiswe kakhulu, ebeka umkhwa nekumgangatho wesikhumbuzo enikela ixabiso elingazange libonwe. Lo myilo uphumeleleyo weIbhaso Legolide le-A' Design Award yiprojekthi emangalisayo nehlonelwayo eluncedo kakhulu kwaye inyusa imida yobugcisa, inzululwazi, uyilo kunye nobuchwephesha. Attimo Iseti Yeti idala iimvakalelo ezinzulu zonqweno, ivusa umdla, ikhuthaza ukuyila kwaye iyasikhwebela.

Behind the Design

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.
