- Creation of industrial product like sculptures. -

This project attempts to embody the harmony between figurative and sculptural thinking in industrial products using clay modelling techniques.
Industrial products are highly prioritised in mass production and molds, there is a consistency in the modelling techniques with a considered awareness to the tension of surfaces and the tendency of lines.
With this method, we combined sculptural modelling (abstract sculpture) thinking, which is not confined to a mold, and aimed to expand the way modelling thinking is in industrial products.

 
Clay modelling technology is one of the most important techniques for improving the build quality of industrial products.
The sensations of the fingertips and the eyes are used to form the design, focusing on "how it looks to the human eye".
A design formed with defined dimensions is not necessarily beautiful.
 
We believe that thinking through the hand is the root of creative craftsmanship, which has remained unchanged throughout the ages.
