This porcelain bottle and cup set was robotically 3D printed and hand finished, and all pieces are food safe and functional. Inspired by the geometric energy inherent in nature, this pattern grows and repeats, evoking the unfolding of leaves and grass, and the delicate tendrils of spring. Each piece has a distinct triangular base that morphs into a circular lip, highlighting the spiraling nature of the print. The set includes one bottle and six drinking cups, with the following characteristics: The bottle measures approximately 3.5" in diameter, is 11.25" tall, holds 3.5 quarts of liquid and weighs 1.2 lbs. The cups measure 3.375" in diameter at the lip, are 3" tall, and hold 7 ounces of liquid. Each cup weighs 0.3 lbs. Also available in white, slate blue, sunset yellow, red, and shell pink glazes. Custom gradients are possible with these colors for an additional fee. Food Safe Glaze. Microwave and dishwasher safe.

STATEMENT
Asa Peller is an artist, designer, and engineer whose creative practice intertwines traditional ceramics with computational design and robotic fabrication. Harnessing an array of material knowledge and craft processes, he navigates digital methodologies to make unique ceramic sculptures, functional pottery, and architectural products. Asa makes his artwork with a two-ton robotic arm reclaimed from the automotive industry, which is programmed to 3D print ceramic objects. His process itself is a work of design; he invents his own robotic tools for extruding clay, determines forms through hand drawings which are digitally drafted, and develops custom algorithms to create surface textures and robotic toolpaths. This collaboration between the human mind, robotic arm, and clay reflects a subtle balance between tactile craftsmanship and computation. Natural systems, parametric patterns, and woven structures are primary sources of inspiration for Asa; his aesthetic sensibilities are rooted in the geometric energy inherent to nature and human creativity. Computation historically arose from the system of ones and zeros used in textile machines, and a similar reciprocal relationship between craft and technology is evident in Asa’s art. His practice is a return to the old, as something new.
