The design inspiration of Blue rabbit coffee set is that the author wants to explore interesting, lovely and lively things from Chinese traditional culture.

Production Technology

In the design process, the size of the work needs to be ergonomic. This is also in line with production standards. Consider applicability when designing decorative patterns. In the process of becoming a hard ceramic, we need to be patient and careful, and only by remaining calm can we turn mud into a perfect porcelain. Decorative patterns also need PS to draw more accurate lines, and multi-level coloring to achieve the final effect. All in all, the production process of this coffee set needs to maintain the spirit of the work, but also to ensure the texture.

Design Challenge

As we all know, ceramics in the firing process is the first experience of the mud injection this link, if there is no good way, then a ceramic will be different thickness, and in the production process, to become hard, regular ceramics is not so easy. When designing decorative patterns, I also need to collect a lot of materials. In order not to have the same patterns and avoid all bad factors, I choose to use traditional Chinese patterns, so as to avoid the same patterns in the market. Therefore, how to make the ceramics regular and the special decoration pattern has become my main consideration.

Project Duration

The project started in November 2020 in Jingdezhen, China, and was completed in June 2021 in Jingdezhen, China.

Operation Flow

Ceramic is made of fine clay at a high temperature of 1300 degrees Celsius. The decorative pattern on the surface is pasted with a film similar to that on a packaging carton, and is attached to the ceramic at a temperature of 720 degrees, which not only saves the time and effort of manual painting, but also can achieve mass production.

Research

This product is mainly based on coffee set as the research type, is inspired by traditional Chinese rabbit pattern and group flower, and uses the performance method of picture segmentation. Combining traditional Chinese decorative elements with contemporary visual art. In the production process, ceramic molding is not easy, but fortunately, it has been overcome. The production time is long, and I am very satisfied with the final effect. I believe that when using this coffee set, the auspicious rabbit pattern can be around us and bring us a happy and lively feeling.
