Fujimaki Seitou & Teruhiro Yanagihara

This standard tableware service is stackable, simple, and able to be mass-produced at low cost. The set comes in a basic Arita white or special grey glaze. It is intended to be unobtrusive, essential, and applicable to almost any interior, a basic tool for everyday use.

 

Yanagihara developed an experimental glaze with Fujimaki Seito, a potter whose family has produced porcelain since 1775. The glaze is inspired by the ‘failed’ glazes that can occur during the porcelain manufacturing process. Yanagihara has reflected on the Japanese culture of revering an objects imperfection and created a glaze with a purposefully uneven texture, making the rough finish and dimpled surface a feature rather than a fault.
