Imagine a pottery wheel that turns clay on an axis. A potter forms the sides and the shape goes all around. Karim Douieb made an interactive that shows how different curves look as a family of pots.

Potters don’t design bowls and vases, they design one curve. That single line, rotated around the axis, becomes the entire form.

In Line, you draw that curve. One side, shaped with a handful of control points, and the app grows a family of proportions around it: each variant keeping the radii and angles that make your line recognizably yours. Taller, wider, slender, grand: different vessels, same gesture.
