‘Rice’ dinnerware collection by Studio Laura Strasser for JIA Inc. (HK)

'Rice' dinnerware collection by Studio Laura Strasser for JIA Inc.
A young German designer and founder of her namesake studio Laura Strasser has developed this delicate, milky-white set of porcelaine dinnerware in collaboration with a Hong Kong-based manufacturer JIA Inc.. Named after the century-old, traditional Chinese rice grain technique employed in its production process, ‘Rice’ features a subtle, translucent cut-out pattern reminiscent of rice grains.

More about the collection:

‘Rice grain porcelain is a traditional Chinese porcelain technique dating back to the Ming dynasty. (A.D. 1368). It is characterized by a refined and semi translucent finish. Adopting this traditional craftsmanship, RICE plays with the contrast between glazed and un-glazes finishes to create a set of daily dinnerware with a delicate sophistication.’
