I wanted to be able to give a nice and personal present to people I like. A mug for me is a very special object because of its use is so close to our body. Only the making of a mould for the production of just one mug takes time and is limited when you want to work fast. Therefore I want to be able to make this process more flexible and playful. To be able to make a mould in a short time, without spending loads of money and without the problem of a mould that doesn’t release the object.

In this Project I try to express some of the possibilities of my flexible moulds by making a system you cast nine mugs simultaneously. These mugs influence and infect each others shape while being cast. Which provides a collection of mugs that have a strong relation to each other being unique.

Execution

Visually my project is about the question 'What is a chair' and 'What is function' The transformation from a minimalist cube to an organic chair and back.

Execution

A cube of foam cut in a specific pattern with inside a metal frame to function as structure and air shafts for the air to flow in and out the foam. The whole structure is covered with a plastic sealed fabric to provide an air-tightness with a vacuum machine installed underneath the seat.
