Ceramic-Speaker is the new work by Tokyo studio Nendo who have collaborated with a traditional Japanese potter to create a flat, square loudspeaker made of 1mm thick ceramic decorated with intricate patterns. It combines high-tech industrial ceramics and traditional craftsmanship.
The product was designed in collaboration with Kanazawa based potter Mitsuke Masagasu, for the Take Action Foundation, which seeks to rejuvenate traditional Japanese crafts. See more;
(Esp) Ceramic-Speaker es el nuevo trabajo del estudio Nendo con sede en Tokio. Han colaborado con un alfarero japonés tradicional para crear un altavoz plano de cerámica decorada con patrones intrincados, con forma cuadrada y de 1mm de espesor. Este combina cerámicas industriales de alta tecnología y técnicas artesanales tradicionales.
El producto ha sido diseñado con la colaboración de Kanazawa, Potter Mitsuke Masagasu, para la Take Action Foundation, que busca rejuvenecer la artesanía tradicional japonesa.
Nendo's description:
"We decided to complement the infinitely sophisticated, elaborate lines of Mitsuke's red-glaze designs by fusing them with the infinite sophistication of digital manufacturing techniques to create a set of high-end audio speakers in 1mm thick ceramic substrate.
Ceramic substrate has a high heat resistance, so is often used for LED bulbs and other heat-emitting internal components and rarely exposed to human eyes. Its computer-controlled manufacture involves shaving thin slices from thicker ceramic slabs, fixing them with mercury vapour and mounting all components with a robot arm; human hands touch no part of the process. We hoped that adding Mitsuke's red patterns to the process would disrupt it entirely, allowing a new form of expression to emerge.
As the substrate is exposed to sight, its function-optimized surface takes on a new decorative role. This reminds us both of the limits of the human hand, and of its infinite, unshakeable attraction, providing a glimpse into the future of craft."
