Contrast was a workshop led by italian designer Matteo Zorzenoni in collaboration with Fred Herbst and Tom Ryder from Corning Museum of Glass (CMOG). The purpose of the workshop was to learn about porcelain and glass blowing techniques and to work with a wood kiln.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The brief was to design a product inspired by contrast. Anything that had to do with color, texture, or finish; to draw inspiration for the sourroundings and to produce a piece that incorporated different glass and porcelain techniques.

FINAL RESULTS | COFFEE SET
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I designed a coffee set combining porcelain, glass and wood. Smooth and rough, light and dark, white and colorful, matte and shiny.
I left a colorful suprise at the bottom so that you can only find it when you finish your coffee.
