01 / A drawing, put to use
A small gesture.
An everyday place.
A territory can be no larger than the circle left by a cup. These four small surfaces turn an ordinary trace into a scattered map. Pale and dark pieces share broken paths and uneven boundaries, but never make a perfect puzzle. Their relation is conversational: near one another, still independent.
02 / Form & function
Useful, without
being ordinary.
These are design targets, not confirmed measurements of finished stock. W = width, D = depth, H = height.
- Object
- Four-piece coaster study
- Size target
- Approx. 10 W x 10 D x 1 H cm per piece
- Intended use
- Four small surfaces for the bases of everyday drinking vessels.
- Form
- Four rounded, irregular tiles with related marks, each holding a different part of a drawn landscape.
- Material direction

- Weight
- To be measured on a finished prototype.
- Development checks
- Test condensation, staining, heat from ordinary cups and table protection. Not a trivet or a food-contact plate; no waterproof claim.
