Jeruzalem Design Week

Via Binarii

For the Jerusalem Design Week -themed EAST- Unfold tapped into the online network of ceramic 3D printers it spearheaded 10 years ago in order to create a line of makers around the world traveling from East to West. For Via Binarii, the teapot is the starting point. Drawing inspiration from the historic trade routes that delivered goods & knowledge from the exotic east, we trace the origins of the teapot traveling from China to England and continue this story in a contemporary age. 
Seven participants received the digital design from the person who lives East from them and after appropriating, had sent this design to the maker West of him. Like a chain letter, a line of teapots arose that are digitally connected around the world, a full circle that ended back at Unfold's own studio.

Participants:
-Keith Simpson (Alfred NY, USA)
 Ronald Rael & Virginia San Fratello (SF, USA)
 Kamm Kai Yu, Tzu-Yi Lu & Zhao-Wei Liu (Taiwan)
-Emre Can (Eskisehir, Turkey)
 Claire Warnier & Dries Verbruggen (Belgium)
