Art and design studio CTRLZAK have launched a collection of tableware where half of each piece resembles traditional Chinese porcelain and the other side features a European design.
Based on an earlier collection of one-off pieces, the new commercial range for Italian brand Seletti is intended to highlight the mixing of aesthetics between Western and Eastern production.
Unlike the earlier CermamiX range, the plates, bowls and cups in the new Hybrid collection are cast as single objects in bone china.
The two halves of each object are then decorated with different colours and motifs.
You can see more stories about ceramics here and more stories about tableware here.
Here’s some more information from CTRLZAK:
SELETTI & CTRLZAK present: Hybrid
Seletti presents the Hybrid collection designed by CTRLZAK studio.
A line of tableware reflecting on the historical production of Chinese and European porcelain and its’ centuries of cross-fertilisation between Western and Eastern aesthetics.
The pieces in the collection are graphically divided between east and west with a coloured line marking the boundary between the two styles and, paradoxically, strengthening at the same time the union.
The Hybrid collection looks at the present while reflecting on the irony of history proposing consequently an evocative contemporary interpretation.
CTRLZAK艺术和设计工作室,发起了一项特别餐具的设计活动,所设计的餐具,一半为中国传统陶瓷图案,另一半为典型的欧洲陶瓷设计风格的图案。
与早期的CermamiX系列相同,在此次新的混合设计风格的产品系列中,所设计的盘子、碗和杯子都采用了中国的骨瓷制作。 每件瓷器的左右两部分均各饰有不同的颜色和图案。 可以点击此链接了解这些陶瓷以及餐具的说明 SELETTI和CTRLZAK陶瓷作品:混合 CTRLZAK设计工作室设计的Seletti的中西方风格混合产品系列集。 此系列餐具,使人反思中国和欧洲瓷器生产历史和欧洲和中国的几个世纪的中西美学交流史。 瓷器的左右两块被分成东部和西部,左右两侧不同的风格以中间彩色界限作为分隔,令人吃惊的是,此种混合设计方式不仅更加增强了原有风格的特点,同时两种不同的风格也能很好的展示在同一瓷器中。 如此,此次混合设计系列着眼与眼下,同时反思了历史对于当代艺术设计的讽刺,引人深思。
