Balmaceda's coffee maker

This is a reflection about design processes, research and production of utilitarian stoneware pottery by using traditional techniques, instead than technical processes for mass-produced objects. These objects establish a relationship with the personal design process, based in what I observed in different cities, for the generation of products with symbolic content, articulating signs that create identities based on the proposition of structural morphologies of minerals.

The pieces have the characteristic that no plate or element is the same with another, I could tell they are mathematically different, becoming fractals, whose basic structure is fragmented or becomes irregular, and its repeated in different scales. As it is the essence of the natural, about the organic, about the only thing which in this case is represented by the design of a functional object such as cups, coffee makers and coffee pots.
