It reminds me of another project I saw on Dezeen by Commonwealth and Josh Davis-http://www.dezeen.com/2007/07/03/tropism-commonwealth-vs-joshua-davis/ I think that for that, Commonwealth worked with a traditional porcelain maker, but ultimately took a Rapid Prototyping model to for them to make molds from. That is next level, and very contemporary way of engaging the knowlege of crafts people. Good discusions on dezeen!
