Clemens Weisshaar and Reed Kram have designed a limited-edition of hand made and hand painted dinner plates for Porzellan Panufaktur Nymphenberg titled My Private Sky — an elegant alchemy by combining the traditional techniques of porcelain manufacturing with a custom-programmed computer application of their own creation.
The edition consists of a set of 7 individually hand painted plates, each of which is entirely unique and customised for the buyer. The project represents the ultimate in personalization: each set shows the night sky at the date and place of birth of the purchaser.
My Private Sky software the designers give the painter a digital companion, connecting the capabilities of modern software with the fine art of porcelain painting. Approximately 500 stars, planets, nebulae and galaxies are then painted in 24 karat gold and platinum by hand by the master painters at Porzellan Panufaktur Nymphenberg onto each set of plates. The singular arrangement of the celestial objects forms a unique and unchangeable portrait of the owner.
