  • Does Ceramic Tableware Offer Opportunities for Emotional Design?
    Does ceramic tableware offer opportunities for emotional design? Emma Lacey – Dept of Art and Fashion Design, Oaklands College, UK. – Emma Lacey Ceramics (44) 7769 903 912, [email protected] Abstract This study responds to a perceived standardisation in design, which can be seen to result from mass-production, in a global market: It is concerned that product anonymity is contributing to a de-valuing of objects and thus a ‘throwaway’ culture. The paper argues that ceramic tableware can appeal to our emotional values and make suggestions for how an analysis of this can inform the design of emotionally durable ceramic objects. Coming from a background in Craft, the author’s research was conducted as live professional practice, aiming to contextualize and find relevant production methods for new industrial designs. The paper begins by discussing the impact that globalisation is having on the ceramic market, and offers emotional design as a relevant discourse to counteract fast moving trends and production. A theoretical base is offered using Donald Norman (2005), and Jonathan Chapman’s (2005) theories of emotional design. These are then measured against the author’s ethnographic research, to demonstrate the emotive capabilities of the teacup or mug. The paper goes on to explore existing examples of emotional design within an industrial context. It looks at how heritage, craft skills and user input can contribute to the design and production of ceramics, which are valued beyond their monetary cost. The author’s on-site factory visits, and interviews with production managers and designers, contribute to the argument that industrial ceramics can offer opportunities for emotional design.

  • Pyramids of Makkum Royal Tichelaar Makkum
    PYRAMIDS OF MAKKUM ROYAL TICHELAAR MAKKUM 10 May – 16 June 2012 Gallery Libby Sellers is pleased to present Pyramids of Makkum, a collection of sculptural tulip pyramids designed by Hella Jongerius, Jurgen Bey, Studio Job and Alexander van Slobbe and produced by the venerable ceramics company Royal Tichelaar Makkum. Having undertaken a demanding restoration project on original 17th century flower pyramids at Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum, Royal Tichelaar Makkum engaged a handful of leading contemporary Dutch designers to embark on a challenging project of its own. Using a replica of the restored flower pyramid as their starting point, each of the designers was invited to create their own modern reinterpretation of the grandiose tower. The results display the remarkable virtuosity of the designers involved, while hinting at the surrealism and changing perception of the object’s purpose. Inspired by the porcelain imported from China by The Dutch East India Company, original 17th century flower pyramids were considered the finest example of Delftware for the period. These highly aristocratic vases reached the height of their popularity in 1690’s and became synonymous with design patronage and technical expertise. Only a few of such vases have survived, some made for Mary Stuart, spouse to Dutch Stadtholder Prince William III, who in 1689 ascended the British throne. Royal Tichelaar Makkum’s contemporary interpretations are an impressive presentation of five sublime artifacts (the traditional replica and the four interpretations) all made in the original Faience technique. The presentation at Gallery Libby Sellers is timed to coincide with both Collect Contemporary Craft Fair and the Royal Horticultural Society’s annual flower show in Chelsea.
