About Amytis 杯子
Amytis 是一款适用于冷热饮品的瓷杯。其造型宛如一串葡萄，灵感源自巴比伦空中花园。圆润的表面带来独特的触感握持体验，仿佛将一串葡萄握于掌心。杯身容量为200毫升，并配有与之相配的亮釉瓷碟。制作工艺始于石膏模具，将瓷泥注入其中成型，随后经过两次烧制：先以1050度素烧，再以1230度釉烧。成品杯易于清洁，可用洗碗机清洗。

- Production Technology
- After shaping the Amytis model, a plaster mold is taken. A 3D printer is used to create the model. It is produced by pouring porcelain clay into plaster molds. It goes through two firings in order, the first is 1050 degrees biscuit firing and the second is 1230 degrees glaze firing, which gives it the beauty of porcelain.
- Design Challenge
- The most challenging part was to turn the design into reality with ceramic material without spoiling its effect when it was fully formed. I had chosen fine porcelain as the material and this required a very difficult production process for the form. However, as a result of a year of R&D work, I had the opportunity to reach the perfect design with a new molding method. This was what I was looking for. No matter how difficult it was, the design chose its own material and it came true exactly as I imagined.
- Research
- When creating the design, the first priority was for it to be enjoyable to use. In addition, it had to be ergonomic and easy to clean. While thinking about all these, I started researching, thinking that a story would help. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon always interested me, and the in-depth readings I did strengthened me. I found the final touch I was looking for in its story.
- Inspiration
- I was inspired by the hanging gardens that Nebuchadnezzar had built for his wife Amytis. It was very important to me that the design be personally pleasing. So I was moved by the fact that Queen Amytis found her longing for green hills and gardens in the beauty of the grape clusters. I imagined her holding the grape cluster in her hand. Like taking a bite of a grape cluster in the palm of your hand.
- Project Duration
- The design began to take shape in 2017 and reached its best state in 2019.
- Operation Flow
- Amytis was designed as a coffee mug. But it varies according to the user's experience. This is its best feature because it is suitable for a wine or a small snack in time.
