Disposable Tin
Disposable Tin
From the process of observing human behavior in the space of a home kitchen, I chose to focus on a particular action that is familiar to all of us, cutting vegetables.
​
Cutting and peeling vegetables in the kitchen usually consists of cutting and peeling (of course), then taking a simple plastic bag, putting it on the counter and throwing the leftovers and the garbage into it. This is where my project was born.
I conceptualized a disposable tin for use in the kitchen. The disposable tin comes in a roll much like a sandwich bag. Each tin is to be ripped off, opened, filled up and thrown in the trash.
The inspiration for the product came from the world of paper folding, with one simple and clear action for using the product. The product optimizes the cooking process in the kitchen, making it cleaner, more convenient and faster. The one-time tin is made of biodegradable material, which replaces the wasteful and environmentally harmful plastic bag.

The thought of creating a texture that penetrating from the material led my research.
How to create a texture that develops from natural movements within the material, rather than manually and artificially.
Already through my first steps on my research, I was mixing grains (wheat groats and rice) with porcelain. The grains are completely consumable in the fire and the space they leave, creates the texture.
During the process, I explored different ways to control the textures when I mix the grains into the porcelain, by the shape and especially the by the composition it creates on the vase.
The vase design process itself was born out of the needs of the material research; Produce a clean, oblong object that can be used as a canvas for the different textures.
As a designer, I chose to base my work on the Japanese Wabi Sabi theory and ask myself questions about aesthetics, beauty and perfection.
The textures that emerge from the material, the voids and the fragility of the material brings up the discussion of the aesthetic with incompleteness, the beauty of destruction and the perfection that can emerge from a fracture.
