helix - ceramic origami
The helix series of pots is based on a unique technique of developing
shapes from 3D computer programs. The shapes are designed using sophisticated
CAD programs that enable production of flat patterns from which prototype
models are constructed. The methods is similar to that used for traditional
origami models, but the complexity of the shapes means that they could
never have been realize without the use of IT tools.
The complexity of the shapes is contrasted by the simplicity of the plaster
moulds use to cast the ceramics pieces. All the shapes are designed to
be made in one single-piece mould, they release from the mould simply
by twisting out like a screw thread.
