Chá das cinco brasileiro: design de superfície cerâmico inspirado em infusões nacionais e no Art Nouveau

Abstract

This paper takes place on a creative process on the surface design field studies for ceramic surfaces, where it is shown a collection of three lines of pattern design for a porcelain set (tea set), printed off serigraphic process to porcelain stamping. The main goal of this research is to develop the production of patterns based on the Brazilian consumption of yerba-mate (Ilex paraguariensis), guaraná (Paullinia cupana Sp.) and carqueja-doce (Baccharis articulata), prepared as infusions and, on the same time, based on the visual language of Art Nouveau (1890-1920) and on graphic characteristics of the chosen flora, which explores the lush form of nature. The experimental methodology is based in the work of Georg Hans Max “Gui” Bonsiepe (1984). After the accomplishment of this paper, it is expected to make a contribution to the surface design studies field by presenting eleven distinct patterns to five different pieces of porcelain, considering the creative possibilities inside the Brazilian contemporary ceramic design area and its culture around tea consumption.
