Marcel Wanders Artwork Details

 

 

Detailed Description

The quality of porcelain is best reflected through its delicate character. You could hardly get this quality out of porcelain by merely using molds. Marcel Wanders developed a technique to produce porcelain objects without the use of plaster molds. A natural sponge is taken and dipped under fluid porcelain clay, the clay impregnates the sponge and after drying the porcelain-impregnated dry sponge is burned in a regular ceramic oven. The sponge totally disappears and the porcelain perfectly copies the delicate texture of the sponge.
