Art and design studio CTRLZAK have launched a collection of tableware, but not just any tableware. Half of each piece resembles traditional Chinese porcelain and the other half features a European design

Based on an earlier collection of one-off pieces, the new commercial range for Italian brand Seletti is intended to highlight a new commercial range whereby they mix aesthetics between Western and Eastern production

Unlike the earlier CermamiX range, the plates, bowls and cups in the new Hybrid collection are cast as single objects in bone china

The two halves of each object are then decorated with different colours and themes.

SELETTI & CTRLZAK present: Hybrid

Below images: Seletti presents the Hybrid collection designed by CTRLZAK studio

A line of tableware reflecting on the historical production of Chinese and European porcelain and its’ centuries of cross-fertilisation between Western and Eastern aesthetics.

The pieces in the collection are graphically divided between east and west with a coloured line marking the boundary between the two styles and, paradoxically, strengthening at the same time the union.

The Hybrid collection looks at the present while reflecting on the irony of history proposing consequently an evocative contemporary interpretation.
