designer's own words:

For the X_tray tableware series I use the plastic trays that come with the packaging of food as you buy them in the supermarket.
These trays have very esthetic reliefs and that inspired me to create this tableware.
How I made them:
For the cups: I cut the trays to the desired size and then stick them together to create the mould. Then I pour plaster into the mould and let it dry. I then remove the mould and the cup is ready.
For the vase and buttertray: I use the trays as they are and multiply them with plaster. I then join the several parts together.
I would prefer to make them with porcelain and finish them with a transparent glaze.
