Concept

a modern take on traditional wheels to help you master the potter’s age-old art.

Story

Review from Ammadu Let’s Cook Vantalu

We understand that a great machine can look good at the same time! With Uniek, we are inspired by retro houseware design from the 1950s, just like the old fridge at your grandparents’ home. A durable coat of paint is applied while the casing is made of modern plastic to stay light.

Uniek is smaller than any common potter’s wheel thanks to all-new design and use of modern components. Departing from traditional constructions, we have designed it from scratch incorporating modern high-torque motors and bearings. The result is a smaller and more capable drive, yet you can still create cups, dishes and vases with it.

Pottery is a great art to train one’s creativity, hand-eye coordination and focus. Also, you can still create cups, dishes and vases with it. You can follow the video on social media to make your pottery or create your own pottery. Different color can be painted on the pottery to stay unique from the others.

A unique pottery can be customized by yourself to as a gift to your friends and family. You can also create the pottery in those memorable dates and festival. Other than pottery which are made from Uniek, Uniek is also a good gift for your friends and family.

The turning wheel is interchangeable for 2 sizes which is 45mm and 65mm. You can make different size of pottery by a larger turning wheel. (65 mm turning wheel is avaiable as an add-on item).

Combined with care-free paint and fine finishing, you can just wipe off most dirt and mess from the Uniek. For the tools box, you can clean the clay in the running water directly.

Like the mobile phone replacing landline telephones, We want to take pottery mobile as well. Modern high-torque motors are powerful yet consume little power, enough to run on batteries entirely. Uniek has internal 7000 mAh batteries allowing it to run non-stop for 4-6 hours. To avoid running out of battery in the middle of a section, a clear battery-level indicator is located on the body. Anti-slip rubber pad is installed at the bottom for use on any surface. To allow easy cleaning away from home, all components of Uniek are coated with dirt-repellent coating.

Basically any clay can work on Uniek but we recommend air dry clay and terracotta clay. You can use a kiln or the hot gun (available in add-on) to dry up the clay or just leave it there for drying up.

Below is a table that represents what our estimated shipping costs are for this campaign. After your purchase on Kickstarter, we will be sending you a survey which will securely process your address and shipping payment.

Shipping costs are subject to change in the survey and Tax will only be included for EU countries.

Color:
We have chosen carol pink, light turquoise, and milky white to best represents a retro feel, as well as taking a lot of references from old posters and magazines to get some inspirations.

“Uniek is not just a pottery machine, it is also a home decoration”

Compartment Design:

After many months of coming up with the different prototypes, we finalized the design by moving the tool box to the bottom of Uniek so that users can have more tools to play with. We brought more than 100 tools from market and we came down to the 15 tools that would be the most helpful and making it easier for all you beginners out there. We’ve decided to use stainless steel as it is much more durable, safe and won’t be as pointy for the hands. Besides that we have added one of the most important part of Uniek “the pool” in one the best places ever right next to the plate so that it is very hands on for the players.
