This project explores the fundamental question of what is needed to create a shape. Starting from two-dimensional sketches, I translated simple systems of dots connected by straight lines into three-dimensional forms. This method became the guiding rule throughout the entire process.
Research into Czech Cubism and its use of faceted geometry informed the formal language of my project. Beginning with the triangle, the simplest shape made of straight lines, I explored how few surfaces are required to create a recognizable object.
The teapot served as a test object due to its formal simplicity but clear identity. I continuously moved between two and three dimensions through analogue experiments, drawings, paper models, and 3D prints, always keeping the dots visible. The resulting forms range from highly reduced to maximized shapes.
The final outcome is a tea set consisting of a teapot, mug, saucer, and spoon. All objects are based on the same hexagonal structure. The original dots remain present as tactile details.
