porcelain bowl that looks like foam by Marcel Wanders

Marcel Wanders designed these pieces as part of an experimental project initiated by Rosenthal for the Dutch foundation Droog Design. The sponge pieces are created by dipping a sponge form into fluid porcelain clay. After drying, the piece is fired in an oven where the sponge burns away leaving only the in its place. In this way porcelain products can be made without a mold.
