The small crumpled mug 3.7 fl oz Black CD27 is part of the Crumpled series, known for its minimalist color palette and classic white porcelain. Its unusual shape resembles crumpled metal or wrinkled paper — a surprising and technologically demanding design that contrasts the delicate nature of porcelain. The series includes vases and mugs in two sizes: large, perfect for tea or latte, and small — ideal for aromatic espresso. Each piece invites experimentation, easily transforming into small vases or dishes for sauces and spices. The designer, a renowned ceramicist and educator, has received numerous prestigious awards and his works are part of collections at the Royal Museum of Mariemont in Belgium, Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the 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 settled in New York in the 1970s where he founded the Modus Design studio, operating in Poland since 2000. In 2013, he co-founded Ćmielów Design Studio — the design atelier of Polish Porcelain Factories. The studio develops contemporary Polish design for global markets, blending craftsmanship with innovative technology. It plays a vital role in the industrial design process and engages in educational, artistic, and business collaborations worldwide through the Residency program. It supports young creators, giving them a platform to participate in renowned projects and promoting Polish design internationally. The Crumpled collection of vases and mugs has existed for years — today, we add a new product: a small crumpled teapot with a metal handle and four mugs. The flawless white porcelain evokes crushed paper, contrasted by a chrome handle, making the set both delicate and practical. Its striking form enhances the tea-drinking ritual. The set is also available in matte porcelain glazed inside in pink, indigo, and navy. Ćmielów Design Studio is the official design studio of Polish Porcelain Factories “Ćmielów” and “Chodzież” S.A., led by artistic director Marek Cecuła. It caters to customers seeking contemporary aesthetics, originality, and excellent design. The studio brings together designers, artists, and architects with skilled porcelain factory staff to create a prestigious collection of modern Polish design.
