Tokunaga Pottery & TAF
TAF have designed an adaptable everyday porcelain collection. They concentrated on the notion that the collection should be able to work both for adults and children. A full size plate for a child might be used as a side plate for an adult for example. Consequently, each piece in the range has a double function; it can be used by children and adults, it has more than one use, and can be applied to both an Asian and European table setting.
The collection, created together with Tokunaga pottery, has playful elements. Some of the shapes look like spilled liquid, and applied geometric designs are naïve. The outlines of these designs mimic the lines drawn by a ballpoint pen but are in fact made using the blue paint that has been used in Arita for 400 years. Canteen cups and a found industrial pitcher lent inspiration to the collection’s forms.
