This is my bachelor project where I have chosen to combine my two biggest passions, food and design. The project involves an identity design that emphasizes proximity, experiences and presence during the meal. The goal of this project is to strengthen the experience and presence during a meal, and influence the customer's dining experience.
The identity mainly consists of a logo and associated customized letterforms, various paper-based elements, photography, packaging, motion posters, business cards and a handbook to represent the ceramics studio ae ceramics.The core values of ae ceramics are proximity, movement, presence and handmade craft / handmade food, something I have tried to communicate through both the development of crockery and its identity. I want to stand out by using more agile and playful design but still keep it simple. I aim to bring this out through my tone of voice and playful compositions to create dynamics and contrasts in the visual identity.
Every piece in this project is handmade and manufactured by me, Anny Follesøy, in Bergen, Norway.

Promotion of the product
--

Presence and proximity are important values in this tableware and its identity. I would want the customers to be able to feel the ceramics, and thus would not be natural for it to be sold via an online store. Possible outlets could be at cafes, restaurants or local design shops. Promoted through social media.
