Carbon is the eponymous name for the black and gray design line of the "Reactive Trend in high fired porcelain. After the first biscuit firing, the porcelain was dipped in a carbon-colored basic glaze and fired again. In a further process, black Metallica pigments are applied and fired the third time. Although this process is much more expensive compared to the common stoneware, but this ultimately ensures the unique design of the gray carbon style and the suitability for commercial use of the hard porcelain.
Similar to mother pearl, the reactive tableware shines, reflects and glitters from different perspectives, sometimes black, silver, gray or even subtly greenish. The slightly raised dots gives the gray dishes different depths, like a hologram. The reactive tableware of the Carbon series is a dark, exciting glaze, in which no part is the same.
We do not realize this reactive glaze on standard shapes and the irregular style of Carbon communicate a language of natural and urban design. Away from robots and unified industrial porcelain, towards a handcrafted production with high manufacturing competence. Each piece of tableware in the gray-black Carbon series is unique. This underline the natural feeling and taste of this type of design and gives the reactive tableware a high degree of independence.
