Traditionally, ceramic objects have a stable form, hard and immovable, resistant to manipulation by the user. The starting point for the design was a desire to use clay as one would use thread, and to create a moveable, chan-like structure that lives with its surroundings as well as the user’s needs and moods.

"Seemingly practical looking objects aren't always functional, and seemingly impractical objects aren't always impractical – it's all about the user's capacity. Contrary to the Bauhaus ideology that was devoted to functionality, the inspiration behind Sigmund's Travelling T-laboratory was to create a purely conceptual object in the nature of an illusionary practical and mechanic, form-meets-function assemblage.”
