macef design award 2004 : results title: WINTER MUG # : 448 pepe garcia / cul de sac from spain ---    designer's comment: There is an emotional aspect to ceramics, which is harder to define than its physical properties &Mac246; hardness, chemical inertness or high temperature resistance. This is a mug that speaks more about warming yourself up than about drinking. Often you go for a tea or a coffee not because you are thirsty, but because you are cold. The mug transforms itself due to this new requirement ( to control the heat ), finding a new typology. You can feel the heat of your drink through the bottom of the mug, so it becomes a hand warmer more than just a container. The terracota is slip-cast using a two-part plaster mold with a mobile insert to create the double-walled production. The bottom piece that closes the mug is added at the end of the process from another mold. --- H2O - back to the index page - ---  ------- monthly designboom newsletter ------- ------- ? comments and contact us ? -------
