MODUS DESIGN - Random mug

Random is a mug ruled by chance. Each piece features a randomly selected set of three digits, forming one of 999 possible combinations.
The design breaks the monotony of mass production by introducing uniqueness and individuality into the industrial process.
The black numbers on white porcelain are not only a bold decoration, but also a system of identification that makes it easy to recognize your own mug – in the kitchen, at the office, or during a meeting.
Random is your personal number.
Capacity: 400 ml

Marek Cecuła (b. 1944)
World-renowned ceramic artist, designer, curator, and educator.
Born in Poland, he gained experience from the age of 16 in Israel, Brazil, and the USA, before returning to his home country to establish the contemporary porcelain brand Ćmielów Design Studio for Polskie Fabryki Porcelany “Ćmielów” i “Chodzież” S.A.
In 1976, he founded Modus Design Studio and the Contemporary Porcelain Gallery in New York’s SoHo, promoting the idea of a "table landscape" – ceramics created in dialogue with everyday life and contemporary aesthetics. Cecuła creates both functional and artistic porcelain, merging utility with visual expression.

His works are included in the collections of institutions such as the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and Museum of Fine Arts in Houston.

For 20 years, he headed the Department of Ceramics at Parsons School of Design in New York. He also lectured at the Royal College of Art in London and the National College of Art and Design in Bergen. He had a significant impact on redefining ceramics as a discipline uniting craft, art, and design. He introduced innovative teaching methods, engaging students in projects at the intersection of art and industrial design, which contributed to the development of a new generation of ceramic designers.

He curated exhibitions such as Object Factory in Toronto and New York, promoting new directions in contemporary ceramics.
