Due to my interest in ceramics, I decided to do the research of UK pottery industry in the module of Commercial Context. That's how I knew Portmeirion Pottery and its famous Botanic Garden range. My curiosity of plants made me unable to ignore it. However, the traditional style of graphic makes it less interesting. That's why I decided to design new items for it. Here came the 6-months-long project.
The idea started with the theme of weather and butterfly shape. The new weather graphic is trying to bring interesting imagination to people: How would the "plants in Botanic Garden range" look like in different weather? And, as long as butterfly is one of the character in this range, why not have a set of butterfly shape plates?
In order to have different level of new products, the Weather Series is arranged on the original round plates which means it's the easiest one to achieve. The butterfly shape is developed into two ranges, one with decal and one with embossment. One for daily use and another one is sort of limited edition for collection.
