K_4
tableware set
The work is a minimalistic set of tableware made of porcelain. The collection includes a round plate, an ellipse dish for snacks,
and for kinds of finger food. The project had to reflect the achievements of Czech culture during the region of Charles IV.
I was inspired by the late Gothic period of Czech architecture. The collection was called K4 and refers to the name of one of the most influential
Czech kings in the history - Charles IV ( Karel IV in Czech). The name consists of four graphic symbols. The symbols associated with the four
words characterising the region of Charles IV.
K -the first letter of the king's name (Karel IV)
Kámen (rock)
Koruna (crown)
Klenba (Arch)

Technical part.
Surfaces of the items consist of the refracted planes. By that, the desired play of light and shadows has been achieved.
These are the parts of the minimalistic design with pure geometric shapes. In my work, I used the technique of slip-casting porcelain.
As a result, the produced items have a uniform thickness. The plate is designed in such way that the cross section forms zigzag. That is zigzag
vertice on one side of the object, at the same time is a notch on the other side. And vice versa. Thanks to this form, the products became functional
on both sides. One plaster form allows producing plates of two different designs: convex, concave.
