Bubble cups

Project
The “Bubble Cups” series comprises ceramic espresso cups developed through an exploration of slip casting. The project encompasses the entire production process, from 3D modelling and the creation of 3D-printed prototypes to the production of multi-part silicone and plaster moulds, clay casting and final glazing.
The cups’ organic relief surface is inspired by the structure of bubbles, emphasising their tactile quality and distinctive character. The author independently developed and executed every stage, from the digital model to the finished ceramic object, exploring the possibilities of combining contemporary digital tools with traditional ceramic techniques.

Author
Maja Jandrić is a multidisciplinary designer working at the intersection of industrial and graphic design. Her practice encompasses product, furniture and retail-space design, as well as the development of visual identities and other visual communication systems.
Regardless of the medium, her work begins with research into context, function and material, with the aim of creating considered, functional and visually restrained solutions.
The “Bubble Cups” project marks her introduction to ceramics. Through it, she explores slip casting using custom-developed moulds created by combining 3D modelling, 3D printing and traditional ceramic processes. Her practice focuses on functional objects that bring together contemporary technologies, craft knowledge and a strong material presence.
