torlo, Geschirr-Set

2007_torlo_Geschirr_Set_

Created as a diploma project at FH Bern, and produced in a small craft series, the porcelain table set «torlo» consists of five carefully coordinated parts: an egg-cup, a cup, a bowl, a pasta plate and a plate. The key component of the set is the egg-cup, which derives from the form of a decapitated egg. Like the other parts of the set, the form of which has been generated with the help of the mathematical laws of growth, it follows a clear geometric scheme and consists of three curves – two concave curves and one convex. This forms the basis for the sculptural impression, suggestive of an artichoke, that the «torlo» set gives.

Comments of the nominators

This simple but uncommonly tender and poetic work makes a convincing impression in both formal and conceptual terms, and succeeds admirably in reinterpreting the classic qualities of porcelain in an original way.
