Mass manufacturing doesn’t mean that products must sacrifice variation & individuality. Focusing on this concept, designer Thomas Hunt developed Mea, a line of ceramic tableware that allows users to personalize individual pieces through the use of ceramic additive manufacturing. Upon ordering, users simply input the date, time, location, & a personalized message which is then codified in an attractive & unique pattern onto the exterior of the object. An outstanding gift idea that won’t be soon forgotten.

The user’s direct involvement contributes to the co-creation process with the designer while strengthening the bond between user & object, increasing the emotional value of the product through the investment of time. Each item is presented in it’s own box along with a guide detailing the memory surrounding the design & instructions for deciphering the coded information.

Looking at the pictures below, one wouldn't guess that they are looking at an audio speaker! The uber chic Ceramic Speaker is the brainchild of Tokyo studio Nendo who collaborated with a traditional Kanazawa-based Japanese potter. Nothing short of a piece of art this speaker is the anti-thesis of the traditional audio equipment. The Modernist/Futuristic footprint was possible thanks to the use of 1mm thick ceramic substrate which has a high heat resistance and works flawlessly with digital manufacturing techniques.
