White Crystal

challenging the perception of value

 

​My aim was to exploit the elegant, wafer-thin property of keraflex porcelain and reinvent the 'crystal' glass with a new material. I researched more about lead crystal, its origins and 'life story'. This helped me to marry the two materials and consolidate my concept.​ Keraflex has an exciting consistency and allows one to laser print, laser cut and fold it similar to origami. I had only 2 weeks to come up with a complete, considered design. Drawing from the crystal inspiration, my concept became a quirky range of tableware. The inspiration is most evident in the large diamond-shaped facets that dictate the overall form and shape of the products.
