Large Crumpled Mug 11.8 fl oz Black CD27 The Crumpled series is designed in a minimalist color palette of classic white porcelain. Its unconventional shape resembles crumpled metal or wrinkled paper. This surprising and technologically challenging design contrasts the “crumpled” form with the delicacy of porcelain. The series includes vases and mugs in two sizes: large, ideal for your favorite tea or latte, and mini, perfect for a shot of aromatic espresso. All elements in the Crumpled series encourage small experiments — they can be easily repurposed as tiny vases or vessels for sauces or spices. The designer, ceramic artist and educator, is the recipient of numerous prestigious awards. His works are part of collections in the Royal Museum of Mariemont in Belgium, Victoria & Albert Museum in London, Smithsonian Institution in Washington, and the Museum of Arts and Design in New York. Born in Kielce in 1944, he moved to Israel in 1960, and in the 1970s settled in New York, where he founded the Modus Design ceramic studio, active in Poland since 2000. In 2013, Ćmielów Design Studio was established with his participation — a design workshop of the Polish Porcelain Factories focused on developing and introducing contemporary Polish design to the global market. By experimenting with porcelain production, the studio combines human touch with innovative technologies. The studio also undertakes projects in education, art, and business, collaborating with schools and designers worldwide under a Residency program. It brings together young creatives, giving them the opportunity to participate in renowned projects while promoting Polish design on the international stage. The collection of crumpled vases and mugs has existed for several years. Today, we are adding a new product to this popular line — a small crumpled teapot with a metal handle and four cups. The flawlessly white porcelain in this series resembles crumpled paper, contrasted with a chrome handle, creating a delicate yet functional set. Its intriguing shape encourages the ritual of tea drinking. The set is also available in matte porcelain, glazed inside, in pink, indigo, and navy.
