In 1981, a mysterious buyer purchased a handful of glasses designed by Cini Boeri at the Arnolfo di Cambio store in Beverly Hills. The following year, the glasses appeared in the iconic sci-fi film Bladerunner, when Harrison Ford’s character, Deckard, drinks from one.
I was inspired by Boeri’s silhouette and made what you see here, which I’ve dubbed the “Unicorn Cup.”
It’s designed in CAD software and constructed in blue porcelain, created using a ceramic 3d printer. This cup is handmade and finished — the inside is glazed a satin matte black and the exterior remains raw with underglaze details, accenting the lines and form, and hinting at how the cup was made.
Designed, assembled, hand finished, and fired in Burbank, CA by one person.
