‘peels’ ceramic cups by vii chen

designer vii chen has developed a collection of porcelain cups as a part of her thesis, where tangible and intangible explanations between tactility are explored through production techniques in natural materials. ‘peels’, includes a series of six geometric patterned ceramic cups that retain certain memories of a palpable interactions with certain fruits and vegetable skins. literature reviews inform the idea of ‘ceremonial and memorial touch’ to generate a symbiotic emotion between users. through an evolution of tangible objects and the renovation of manufacturing techniques, a personal relation is created by sensory experiences and human cognition.
