meet corcelain, a series of ceramic cups with customizable 3D printed feet and screws
Briefly

Corcelain offers customizable porcelain vessels with mountable 3D printed feet and screws. Each piece features a screw hole at the bottom to attach vibrant legs, handles, and lids. The designs are inspired by a traditional Japanese ceramics technique called Kodai. This innovation addresses the hygiene concerns of 3D printed objects while enhancing their aesthetic appeal. Creator Kosuke Takahashi partnered with 224 Porcelain to combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology in order to support Japan's craft industries, which are facing challenges in the current market.
The Corcelain series features ceramic cups and vessels with mountable 3D printed feet and screws, allowing for customization while ensuring hygiene and functionality.
Kosuke Takahashi emphasizes the challenge of creating food-safe designs with 3D printing, stating, 'Standard materials like PLA and ABS aren't food-safe.'
The design incorporates an element from traditional Japanese ceramics called Kodai, providing stability and a playful aesthetic through raised ceramic bases.
Takahashi's collaboration with 224 Porcelain aims to revitalize traditional craft industries in Japan by integrating contemporary technologies into their ceramic work.
