Camelia bowl set is a piece where ancient legend, artisanal craft, and digital precision converge into a single, fluid gesture.
Born from the Chinese legend of the discovery of tea, Camelia moves from thought to the initial trace on the sketchbook, ultimately materializing in wood. Its morphology is the direct result of meticulously integrating technology into the craft process: a design conceived from actual production capabilities, where traditional joinery seamlessly dialogues with the innovative possibilities of the CNC router.
The piece brings together a comprehensive understanding of wood—balancing its hardness and strength with the elegance and grace of its grain—alongside a deep technical exploration of digital carving. Every curve responds to precise variables: the shape of the cutter, its direction, speed, movement, depth, and revolutions per second.
A dark wood base supports the movement of the leaves-bowl, whose surface captures the transversal waves created when tea falls into water. The aesthetic and conceptual search embodied in Camelia spans every scale: from the narrative interpretation of the myth to the distance between its carved valleys and the alignment of the grain itself.
Rather than replacing the artisan, Camelia highlights the role of the machine as a living tool—establishing a relationship where technology is not external or detached, but a natural extension of the hand and human invention.
