DESIGN NAME: Natural Growth
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Multifunctional Ceramic Plates
INSPIRATION: With the rise of distribution service of food, fruit and eating out, less and less people will cook at home, especially the young people.
The household ceramic therefore has become a low-frequency commodity, such as plate (as a container) which will be used as many as 3 hours a day in the morning, afternoon and evening, and the rest of 21 hours placed in the cupboard generates little value.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: It is a detachable, random combination of ceramic products with the versatile product design. People can use and combine it in any way they like. They can define what it is during the process of their use. This kind of interaction makes it to be an interesting product, providing people with rich functionality.
Because of the rich functionality, people can better make use of it even in the time when it would be unused and create more values in idle state.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: It is a detachable, random combination of ceramic products with the versatile product design. People can use and combine it in any way they like. It can be used as a plate, ornament or other functional products, which not only provides people with rich functionality, but also creates more values in idle state.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in April 2015 in Jingdezhen and finished in February 2016 in Jingdezhen.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The most important point of this work is to solve the combination of ceramic and wood. In order to avoid distortion problem after firing, we adopted sticks nailed firing, so these two materials can synthesize perfectly.
Second, through locally unglazed, we increase the friction between ceramic and wood, so these two materials can synthesize steadily.
Third, we choose the high density beech as pillar to stabilize itself, because it will be more heavier.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Width 240mm x Depth 240mm x Height 250mm

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We have done the exploratory research, by interview, questionnaire and observation. Research objectives is the generation after 80s and 90s. Methodology is the psychological need mode of Maslowl.
And we drew a conclusion that with the rapid development of service-oriented consumption, normal household ceramic is becoming less and less used which should be redefined. The importance of functionality is getting weak, but the requirement of culture experience, quality and spirit has become more and more important, which is a chance for traditional ceramic industry.
CHALLENGE: The challenge is to find the best fit elements to combine traditional ceramic culture with modern lifestyle. The 1800-year history of JingDezhen Ceramic has too many elements to choose, which has to meet and balance the contemporary aesthetic culture, functionality and cultural consumption in the meanwhile is very hard.
