Mate Craft

Tableware collection inspired by the South American tradition of mate, an infusion drank from a calabash gourd container, usually covered in leather.

The project explores the potential of traditional craftsmanship and iconic forms to develop a collection of tableware objects with a recognisable identity.

The function of the objects, is, however, universal: a carafe, a teapot, a cup, a vase and a bowl. The pieces have been handcrafted in ceramic and cold-shaped natural leather, which provides a strong structure. 

The product evolves as it ages: the leather gets darker and develops a protective patina, which enhances its uniqueness through use.

There’s 83 (yeah :p) plugins on the server right now, and I kid you not, they make it some of the best Minecraft playing experience I’ve ever had.  There’s mcMMO, SilkSpawners, Mobcatcher, Runecraft, and a TON more. Not only the plugins are available, but there are, at the moment, five worlds: Survival, Creative, Hell/Hardcore (that is an adventure in and of itself), Factions/PVP, and Hunger Games (which is currently a WIP but it’ll be as rad as the others).

Plus, the staffers on Matecraft are amazing. They’re super nice and helpful, and want to do nothing more than make your playing experience amazing.

So, you should come hang out with us, and look for Zarorah (that’s me!) online.
