MOMENTUM

As the physics term Momentum - as the quantity of motion that an object has - I designed these plates playing with the idea of motion, of mass in motion. Each plate is conceived both as a single object and as part of a whole (here, the idea of motion). The Italians’ pride in setting tables always implies the imperative to use a placemat on top of which to lay the other plates. The idea of dressing the table with this “double layer” is synthesized by the design of the thick rim that embraces and contains the dinner plate. It is the rim indeed that touches the surface on which the plate lies, allowing the plate's flat side to float. The design of the smaller plate (soup plate) is conceived both as part of the entire set and as a standalone piece, incorporating, through the rim, the idea of the placemat or dinner plate that is typically placed underneath. 

The height of the rim of the small plate is designed to be entirely covered by the larger plate when it is placed on top of it (see the elevation). Also, the mug, when placed behind the plates, is visually contained, allowing an elevation of equal partial surfaces exposed for each object. In terms of decoration, I choose to work with graphic drawing in decal, a technique that allows for printing on ceramic at high temperature. 

The illustrations follow the aesthetic of TuorloBlue’s recipes. Indeed, each plate is decorated with either a plan, an elevation, or a section of the same “subject”.
