Cutlery refers to any hand implement used in preparing, serving, and especially eating food.

Aside of the functional aspect of tableware, silverware has always been and will perpetually be an ornamental figure. Conceived to pleasure the eye while fulfilling one of our most primary needs of food consumption and or squander. Cutlery is unique in its ability to sustain time and carries a remarkable family heritage. Sets of knifes, spoons, forks have been passed on from generation to generation all over the globe, traveling the whole world as a piece of personal history.

Key elements while designing this set was the notion of decay/processing, ornamental and aesthetic excess as in former rococo and barock times, moments of collapse/disequilibrium and a balance in between etiquette dining and painful torture tools. By subverting the logic of perfection and beauty, non-perfect images coming from controlled methodologies were generated. What used to be about mastering the result of a non-perfect process is now about the production of monstrosity and the grotesque throughout very accurate mechanisms, like 3d printing. Which creates an unlimited range of possibilities concerning material usage, design approaches/aesthetics and form production.

This design balances on the edge in-between functionality, digital aesthetics, mass customisation and object Oriented Eclecticism. In contrast to contemporary thought and design, which views things as the aggregation or assembly of smaller bits and parts, in Object Oriented Design new objects emerge out of an ecology of interaction of multiple and heterogeneous objects. Through a process of formation or computation, highly differentiated, contradictory concepts and structures can become one object, without resulting in an incongruous collage.

The use of contemporary production techniques as 3d printing offers this design a substantial relevance, since it is designed throughout a series of semi automated steps. This would enable the creation of several geometrical variations and color schemes for this design, with the advantage of being able to print out customised vases on demand. All slightly different in erosion type or formation. Always following the same design rules, production time and all for approximately the same price. Economically this makes a lot of sense since their would not be any overstock needed like in other production methods, where prices only go down depending on a large amount of produced items.

My second try on my yingyang soy-sauce bowl and I fell in love with it!!

While designing, it was important for me to focus on the meaning of asian numbers and modern design and to combine them with the Ying Yang.

I used 8 edges on the whole design. At the outside-top/bottem, inside, S-shape and at last on the two dots.

I hope you like it and enjoy your meal with it! :)

If you're interested in some bigger sizes, just mail me.


PS:
In the future there will be some more pictures of diffrent colours.

I've made a few changes to make the cooker easier to use. I've updated the handle and made the bottom flat so anyone could eat from it. I've added an extrusion near on the handle to stabilize the cooker in the base. Version 1 was very nice looking, and version 2 will keep most of the original design while adding stability.

It will be fun to collect every color of ceramic shapeways makes. So far I have white ceramic, avocado green, and glossy black with the other colors on their way. If you are looking to get just the cooker, here's the link.

If you want to customize this in any way please email me on shapeways or contact me via my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ZeroDistanceDesigns

This little cooker is designed around the lowly tealight. First meals have been with a standard tealight (38mm x 38mm x 16mm) as the heat source and safflower oil inside the cooking vessel with minced green tomatoes, Portuguese sausage, and sliced garlic. After those tasty results, I progressed to make a variety of dishes.

Tiny Dishes + other savory treats:
- roasted garlic
- cheese frying: ale cheddar, mozzerella
- melted milk chocolate
- fried bread dough
- baked a small spice cake ball
- melted marshmellow + milk chocolate for different smores variations.

other neat applications:
- Heats soy wax to 200 (need to blow out the candle at 185F) and made soy candles.

temperatures:
- heats water: 200F
- heats safflower oil: 300F

limitations:
- uneven heating causes glaze cracks. The latest design with a flattened bottom seems to prevent cracks, but the base can still get glaze cracks.

other oil tests:
- coconut oil, grapeseed oil, butter were all tested and work well.
- walnut oil was tested and I don't recommend it as the oil spattered a few feet in the air as it heated up.

Two identical Pieces make one new amazing lampShade. 

The two parts of this innovative lighting system interlock to form one lampshade around the cable of an existing hanging light fixture. The locking mechanism was inspired by a Bikini Clip that is as easily opened and closed.

Lending itself well to bespoke customer alterations, Two Piece Shade can comprise personal messages or patterns to make it entirely unique and special. The translucent properties of Shapeway’s WSF make it the ideal material to generate interesting shadows and only reveal the inside when the light is lit. It’s further advantage of adding color opens up the possibility of mix-and-matching these interchangeable parts to your personal taste. 

The final size of the overall lampshade is H22cm x W12.4cm x D12.4cm

Please note that you need to order 2 pieces of this design in order to purchase one whole lampshade. These can however be different colours just as you like it.

Further interior patterns and designs will follow. But until then feel free to get in touch if you have any ideas/thoughts/wishes that you would like to see developed into a Two Piece Part.

A small piece of Roman infrastructure for your bathroom, that with miniaturized monumentality clears the underside of your soap of its suds, which -because the vaults underneath are arranged on an incline- drain neatly out their very own celebratory archways. The Soapaduct shown in the photos above is in white Glazed Ceramic, but you can get one in black, yellow, blue and green as well.

let see my turtle's paperweight... the head fits into the body, so you can fill it with sand or other heavy material. A small hammer to lock the head and you have a nice paperweight!

To use this oil lamp, you'll need:
A wick - I used cotton string about 1/8" thick.
A wick holder - I used a 6-32 stainless T-nut that I got at an Ace Hardware for $.74. Anything will work that is clean metal, about 1/8" diameter inside and 3/16" diameter outside, with a flange.
Fuel - I used olive oil, any vegetable oil will do.
I made an Instructable with more details.
