Deconstructing traditional floor tiles to establish basic shapes and new arrangements
All tools were custom designed using 3D software. The segmented pouring frames (left) were 3D printed, while the press moulds (right) were created from plaster poured onto 3D printed negatives.

and tools
Pigment powder is added to slip which is then poured into custom made 3D printed templates.
As the slip hardens, the mould is removed and the clay slab is placed into a two-part plaster mould which presses it into shape.
endless variation
Using varied colours, shapes and groupings, Portion can be arranged to create playful displays of food for any table.
colour, pattern, arrangement
Portion is designed for use in a home or restaurant setting, to accommodate the trend for mezze and sharing plates.
Combinations of differently shaped and coloured plates can be arranged for communal eating or for personal dining.
Portion is not just crockery,
it’s a set of dining tiles.
