- Abstract
- When choosing topic for my project I felt the urge to work threedimensionally and develop shapes with my hands.
Before starting the industrial design education I had taken some classes in ceramics and now I wanted to integrate ceramics in my design work.
My project developed into exploring ceramics and to use its properties in a favourable way in a sustainable product.

The ceramic tray is easily removable from the wooden table but the edges underneath makes it stay in place. (Less)
