transforma is a three-object, open-source furniture and lighting suite that restates the Bauhaus call for socially engaged form-giving at a moment when art, education, and democratic culture are again under pressure. Each piece reduces material, celebrates honest construction, and hands creative agency back to the public.
CONTEXT
Inspired by the Bauhaus ceramics workshop and the simplicity of circular forms, I aimed to reduce the cup’s design to its essential features, balancing minimalism with recognizability and function.
CONCEPT
The initial plan was to 3D print the cups directly in clay. However, early tests revealed the technical challenges and time-consuming nature of the process, requiring expertise and equipment that are not widely accessible.
rethinking
After consulting professionals, it became clear that ceramic 3D printing remains limited in availability. As a solution, I developed a printable mold file instead. This mold can be 3D printed in plastic, cast in plaster, and then used for traditional slip casting, offering a more practical and reproducible alternative.
