Abstract
This master’s thesis explores the everyday aesthetics of a vessel in terms of Applied Arts by studying context rather than seeking an appearance. The initial idea was the exploration of lacquer material and the relevant surface treatment that is inspired by the love of nature, providing a subjective visual experience, while retaining the functional ceramic vessel. As the material experiment developed, it raised another question of how lacquer ware, from a perspective of traditional folk crafts, which is considered time-consuming and labor intensive, could evoke a genuine beauty and sincere worship . This thesis could be divided into two components, firstly as research for gaining fundamental knowledge in developing and supporting ideas for the design work and secondly the practical production of the design work. Through a subjective contemplation of the theme, inspirations such as modernism, Mingei theory and aesthetic Song wares were analyzed. Different thoughts worked together with my approach and centralized on one concrete idea, lacquer surface treatment applied to a ceramic tea set. As a result, the tea set is functionally inspired by Traditional Chinese Kongfu tea set but visually presented in a modern aesthetic way.Description
