CERAMIC VASES

The project Ceramic Vases challenges the notion of ceramic ornamentation in the 21st century by fusing advanced ceramic 3D printing methods, algorithmic design, and artisanal glazing to create a collection of eccentric vases. It explores the aesthetic impact of systematically manipulating manufacturing parameters and robotic toolpaths.

For the design and slicing of the vases, a custom-made design applet was developed using the Processing framework. The design is generated from trigonometric functions and can be altered through attractor points. Via mouse-click, the sliced geometry is directly transferred to the robot controller as a KUKA KRL file.

Starting as an exploratory study embodied in a series of unique vases, the subsequent project New Delft Blue applies the developed computational design and robotic fabrication techniques to reinterpret the world-famous decorative qualities and design vocabulary of Delft Blue porcelain on an architectural scale. The project aims to unlock new architectural potentials for ceramic ornamentation in the 21st century.
