「一個生活中越被忽略的物件，通常都代表著一個地區性的習性及根本。」

在台灣，路邊辦桌、攤販，常常會見到粉紅塑料的免洗餐具，無論大小都有著特殊的『肋柱』結構，這個常見的結構不但降低了生產成本也讓單薄的塑料增加了強度，也代表著台灣塑料工業下的特殊產物。

「塑瓷」這項概念，以強烈的塑膠意象與高貴瓷器的巧妙融合，傳承了支撐單薄塑料的結構『肋柱』，重新的注入華人傳統的薄胎陶瓷工藝技術，將工業量產機制（模具）的思維注入工藝薄胎的價值，運用結構加強了薄胎陶瓷的成型機率。不但在薄胎厚薄與強度間找到了平衡，也實現藝術與實用的新式瓷器,更徵著現代生活與工藝文化的有趣連結。

Chinese heritage and modern thoughts

Tsé is a series of refined, lightweight porcelain tableware. The fine and delicate designs came to life through collaboration between Lyngby Porcelain, designer Pili Wu and the Taiwanese Han Gallery.

HAN Gallery is based in Taipei, the capitol of Taiwan. Together with a short list of designers worldwide they dig into the rich heritage of Chinese culture. They combine traditional and modern production methods and presents unique works of art.

The creative direction of Han Gallery is lead by the Dutch designer and innovator, Gijs Bakker, who also contributed with one of his own designs for the Spring 2015 collection from Lyngby Porcelain.

Contrasts in materials and shapes

The ribbed pattern on Tsé is inspired by the structure of disposable plastic wares used in Taiwanese roadside restaurants. When the patterns are applied to the fine porcelain the ancient craft is brought into an interesting contemporary context.

In the production the porcelain is burned so hard that the products don’t need glazing – instead they are all polished by hand, ensuring a subtle roughness in the texture, which ads another puzzling contrast to the delicate porcelain.

As a part of the Spring 2015 collection Lyngby Porcelain will be presenting 4 products in the Tsé series: teapot, candleholder, bowl, and a set of 3 cups.
