Altar

Altar is a ceramic tea set that celebrates the different type of loneliness - solitude. A thoughtful and peaceful solitude by the cup of tea. A meditation, auto-reflection that goes deep into one’s own self. An escape from the omnipresence of online social media and overwhelming day-to-day flow of information. 

First, as part of the "Superhero" project at School of Form, it later developed into a whole new philosophy. From analyzing my ideal hero, to passing its qualities onto porcelain and wood. 

​

Inner strength and harmony in rounded bottoms, stubbornness and resistant optimism in wooden bases. Thus, a humanistic research determined the form, much of inspiration coming from Japanese culture. 

Altar is  a tea set that invites one for a moment of contemplation to find the strength on the bottom of a cup, or teapot.
