With a stackable mould, the project studies if achieving uniqueness within a standardised process can add value to the outcome. A mould that consist of 3 parts in shapes based on a square, triangle and circle can be stacked differently each time a new piece is cast which results in all unique pieces. The mould can either be used to slip cast or press mould ceramics which then are fitted with a glass top to create a table.Theodora Alfredsdottir is a product design studio based in London.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in product design from the Iceland Academy of the Arts (2012) and a master’s degree in Design Products from the Royal College of Art in London (2015).Storytelling through objects; Theodora’s work revolves around the narrative an object can inhabit and exploring ways of objectifying that narrative. She's interested in the way an object can act as documentation of its manufacturing process; a record of what went on between the machine, tools, craftsman and material as well as it can communicate its origin and former life. In short, the object creates its own factual narrative. That often leads to the discovery of unexpected qualities as well as it gives the user a subtle opportunity to reconsider our material world and explore value in a different way.
