The mandarin salt shaker was designed by reducing the fruit’s form to three essential elements: vibrant orange color, a pentagonal perforation pattern, and a round shape. The rice cup, tinted green to reflect the Albufera’s hues, was crafted for precise rice measurement and ergonomic handling. Challenges included maintaining consistency across 5000 hand-thrown units, ensuring accurate perforations, and controlling deformation during the drying process.
The pieces are fired at up to 1280º.
Sustainability:
Aligned with Visit Valencia’s KM 0 commitment, this project sourced clay 6 km from the studio and used cork stoppers from a local shop with origins in Castellón, ensuring sustainability through local materials and responsible production practices.the Mm
