Quake Glass by Design House Stockholm. Quake is based on a mug of thin clay, shaken to randomly form its own unique shape. A combination of craft and random impact, creating a natural shape that cannot be made in any other way. The shape makes the user aware of his or her actions; how to hold the mug, how to drink?

Quake also clarifies the clay as a material, by showing its formability in its non-burnt state. It is like a small, useful sculpture, with a variation in its form that doesn�t tire the hand or the eye.

Quake mugs are made of real bone china, with its charachteristic whiteness and transparency that becomes clear when held against the light. The inside of the mugs are covered with thin transparent glaces by hand, a technique that creates sheer shades in the surface.

About the designer
Gustaf Nordenski�ld is exploring the field between design, crafts, arts and industrial production in his work. Recurring themes are the interface between man and the object, the rawness of the material, traces of the creative process, as well as the forces of nature and chance.

Gustaf has been Head of Design at several Swedish fashion companies, but his passion has always been the fields of art and craft. More often than using his hands, he uses his elbows, head or even his face to form the material.
