LONGQUAN CELADON
龙泉青瓷
整个系列采⽤了简单的、并且是⼤众能够读懂的⼏何体,去构建了⼀组颇具雕塑⾊彩的⽣活器,涵盖了包括花瓶、⾹薰、置物盘乃⾄⽇常的⽔杯这些品类;并且在这个基础上,运⽤了现代感的简单线条去装点这⼀组“建筑的外⽴⾯”。当⻰泉的厚釉覆盖在这层“外⽴⾯”时,我们所期待的神奇的事情就发⽣了,整体的线条雕刻在这温润的釉⾯下若隐若现,⼤家能够感受到它的起伏与深刻的同时,被晶莹剔透的⻰泉之釉层层包覆的整体⼜是如此的饱满与圆润。
Together with the Longquan government, the team of Tadao Ando invited 10 estheticians from architecture, literature and art. As the only product designer invited, we select its core and precious part as the material for the design, which is its unique thick glaze -- a technique that is distinctive to porcelain all over the world and made it a quite modern ware look. The whole series applies the very simple and accessible geometry to construct a set of sculptural living objects. On this basis, simple modern lines are used to decorate the facades. Beneath the thick glaze covering, we can feel its outline ups and downs and meanwhile, it looks glossy and jade-like. We hope that this set of ware can be used in daily life scenes and more people will gradually become interested in Longquan celadon and even culture, through the process of letting people own and use it, which is exactly the value we hope to convey through design.
