New Deco Project
Project Brief
The project requires choosing a historical object from the vast collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Through hands-on making, the object must be reinterpreted and remade it. The decoration and his role should be rethought and to be considered that it can be the result of functional or contextual ideas.
The redesigned object will become a prototype that communicates a particular idea.

Historical Object Chosen
A Rococo writing and dressing Table
Object information
Museum number; W4:1-1956Materials; mahogany, veneer, brass, pine or oak (inside drawers), bronze mountsDate; ca. 1757-1770Artist maker; anonymousUser; a noble family in Britain
Object functionality
The top drawer fronts pulls out to reveal a writingmaterials. Inside there are compartments for writing materials. The drawers were shaped to follow the curves of the table. Each drawer has a unique shape and number which match the number inside the dressing.
How was the object used?The object was used for writing letters, communication of that time. A letter was simply folded over and sealed with a wax stamp, which in some instances bore the family crest initials.
Set of a dip pen with two nibs Sheets of paper made from a woven wire fabric, known in Europe as Vielin (made by James Whatman)
Signet rings or seals with initials
A quill pen, writing instrument made from a primary wing-featherA brass candlestick with a candle was used only when absolutely necessary
Sketches of 18th-century writing tools
The object was also used for dressing, preparation for external beauty.
Sketches of 18th-century women accessories
A female sun umbrella and a rococo female hat
Rococo female hair accessory, a rococo female mirror and a rococo female necklace
A female fan used for ventilation and filtering and a rococo female hair accessory
A female used to improve posture to help a woman stand straight, and loose elbow-length sleeves finished with wide turned-back cuffs.
What makes the object special?
Image of the historical object without ornaments Image of the ornamental frame of the historical object
Characteristics of Rococo ornaments
Expressing a new unconventional and spirit of madness, pleasure, fantasy, elegance and movement. It is a sharp style of engraving and asymmetrical, combining scrolls and rocaille with naturalistic flowers and grasses.Meaning of the rococo style, the cultural psychology was the need for a fashionable possession to proclaim and secure a new, worthy position in society.
Images of hand draw ornaments
Ornaments
An ornament is used to adorn, beautify , embellish, enhance an object or an image.An ornament brings joy, creates/ build personality, humanises and also makes the object valuable.
Key elements that project takes from Historical object

Different MaterialsCorkGlass
Why using 3D Printing?
Reason
• One of the issue it was the lack of time (6 weeks only for this project)• Work experience; to work with porcelain it takes weeks of practice to produce a beautiful object of a hight standard. The finals porcelain bowls are wobbly and they have different thickness.

This project asks to take the outside broadcaster and freelance journalist and design a relevant and specific practice life in the 21st-century hotel. A potential client is a person who travels extensively between events, production hubs and their home office. Their schedule can be relentless with time to eat, sleep and refresh before they have to travel to the next venue. Through primary and secondary research consider the social spaces, eating and preparation of food, working spaces, reading spaces, cleaning, washing, clothes and shoe care, hair salon, healthcare, spa, fitness, shops and Post Office. Think about function, comfort, private and public scenarios that allow the chosen site and its series of spaces to operate effectively but also capture moments of luxury that take the experience to another level and in this way perform as a hotel in the traditional sense. Also, consider integration into working and residential community.

Paper shirt manufacture
Paper shirt design
A talented designer named Stratis Tavlarides designed a set of beautiful pierced shirt. The material of this shirt is quite unusual because they are made of paper.
The designer’s inspiration comes from the geometry of daily life. The designer also used negative space design techniques, when light passes through the gap, paper clothes will look silky texture.
About the paper shirt
• The shirts are made by cutting, folding, and taping swathes of paper. • These delicate shirts have overlapping graphics, intertwined with logo, also have a plenty of serpentine contour.• After use, all the paper can be gathered up and sent to a recycling The program, where they can be used for their second (or third) coming.
Hotel’s idea
• The Hotel will provide unique paper shirt for their visitors and outside clientele• The shirts can be made in the Hotel• The user can decide to recycle or keep them as a souvenir after they wear it
Shirt pattern First idea Second idea
Inspiration and Design
Analysing and tracing a shirt pattern, an idea is to use the shape to enhance theinterior. The shape can be modulated to create functional objects or practical decoration.
Client luggage
• Clothing, favourite brand Uni Qlo - Japan• Wallet, black leather Mulberry 6 slot card holder• Watch, Timex 1950’s• I phone, Mac• Skin care, Aesop products• Oral B toothbrush and toothpaste• Bear trimmer, ITrim
Reflection
• Client style aspects ;very simple, classic, affordable and good quality.• He works for a global skin care brand and meets new people from all around the world every week• He always carries with him his favourites skin care products (a cleanser, a toner and a moisturiser) and he dedicates time to maintain a healthy looking skin.

Mold map of the areausing the Laser cut
The map is a similar representation of something that it is known, on a more personal level.It helps to get a better sense of all the shapes and how they look from different angles. As a three-dimensional form it is more interactive and allows to interpret a variety of thoughts and emotions.The ceramic it is an inspiration of the historic facts of the building (1902 - 1921 Mr Domenico Brucciani & Co Ltd. Modellers; sculpture and modelled ).

After it dried, normally 2-3 days the work gets the first fire.
Then it is glazed once, very quickly only on the front side; the back side needs to be unglazed.
Covering the porcelain clay with small pieces of newspaper and little stones; when the clay starts to dry it shrinks and tends to curve
The map gets clean from the newspaper ash.
The last step, the map gets into the kiln for the second fire.
The porcelain map is an abstract interpretation of the ‘porcelain skin’ on a different scale and level.

The proposal name for the place is H2Otel. The name is inspired by the chemical formula of water (H2O) which is a major factor in the skin cleansing process, and the common name of an establishment that provides accommodation, meals and other services for travellers and tourists.
The H2Otel visitors will be checked in at the Recept∫on. (The Reception include the integral symbol instead of letter ‘i’ to amplify the action of admitting someone to a new place).
The H2Otel will provide some bedrooms with a luxurious bathroom. Each bathroom will have a Rain Shower that enhances the benefits of the skin cleansing, pleasure and well-being.
Eat green is the are where the visitors and locals will sit and eat at the H2Otel. The restaurant is on the ground floor (for easy access).The name is inspired by the complexity of ingredients and food that are beneficial to a detox process (mainly fresh fruits and vegetables will be served).
A large area of the building is dedicated to the H2Otel SePA SPA named from the com-bination of Selenium formula (Se), one of the essential minerals for a healthy skin and the terminology of a traditional mineral spring considered to have health giving proper-ties (SPA).
The H2Otel will have a small business of paper shirt manufacture that can be purchased as a souvenir, gift or as a one day wear.

Proposed entrance for different rooms
The material of the door frame and the offset en-trance frame can be Sandalwood.
The benefits of Sandalwood essential oil can be attributed to its properties as an antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, astringent, cicatrizant, diuretic, disinfectant, emollient, expectorant, hypotensive, memory booster, sedative and tonic substance.
The material of the door frame and the offset en-trance frame can be Cedarwood, one of the most beneficial woods for the skin.
The health benefits of Cedarwood Essential Oil can be attributed to its properties as an anti-seborrhoeic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, tonic, astringent, diuretic, expectorant, insecticidal, sedative and fungicidal substance.
