Phenakistoscope
The phenakistoscope was developed in Belgium and Austria.
The patterns were inspired by an early form of animation, in which a sequence of images on a rotating disc appears to move when viewed through the device.
Look closely and the images change slightly, like frames in an animation.
Each size and item has a different pattern. Enjoy exploring the designs.
Mulet
Mulet means “cloudy sky” in Swedish. The name is reflected in the subtle shades of white and grey.
Small irregularities in shape and variations in the glaze bring warmth to Mulet’s muted colours. Each piece carries traces of the hand that made it. The quiet finish frames the food and sits comfortably with wood, metal and glass.
Mulet begins with a specially developed clay body. The makers blend clay rich in cobalt and iron with the coarse clay traditionally used in Shigaraki ware. Around 20% porcelain material is added to strengthen the dark clay body. Many trials with an original milky-white glaze led to the collection’s distinctive colour.
In the workshop set up in Gifu to make this collection, the clay is mixed and kneaded, then fired at 1,250°C. Firing at this high temperature produces thin, strong pieces that can go in the microwave and dishwasher.
Mulet comes in three designs, Relief, Line and Hand.
Choose the decorative plant motifs of Relief, the simple rim of Line, or Hand, which follows the original form thrown on the wheel by the designer.
