Tsuzumi Double Sakazuki

Yukino Shunme Double Sakazuki Kitchenware Wednesday, 16 September 2026

Tsuzumi

Tsuzumi has a symmetrical shape with two cups on either end, and each has a different color. You can use Tsuzumi to serve sake, some kind of strong alcohol, or delicacies, but just displaying it as a piece of art could satisfy you because of its nobility and gracefulness. It harmonizes with almost anything. Normally, makie is applied to the body or the inside bottom, but in the case of Tsuzumi, it is positioned as if it looks peeking out from inside. This is the very essence of Japanese beauty, which is modest but impressive. Layered urushi, tamenuri, creates graceful shades in the cup.

Attimo Tea Set

Mikhail Chistiakov Tea Set Kitchenware Monday, 14 September 2026

Attimo

Attimo (meaning "moment") tea set is made of first-class thin-walled bone china. The metaphor of the shape of objects is a stopped moment of time. The handle-stone falls on the smooth surface of the porcelain, and creates "circles on the water" running along the object. So every touch for the handle is a touch for frozen time. This complex asymmetric shape of the service items is especially difficult when implemented in porcelain. However, the use of the hollow handle technique, proactive correction of firing deformations, made it possible to achieve an ideal geometry.

Penguin

Penguin is a thermo jug shaped like a polar penguin. The rounded body and the tilted form give the jug a warm and friendly appearance. The handle is set perpendicular to the center of gravity, so the jug leans forward when held and can be used easily by children and older people. The front of the lid is raised like a beak to keep dust away from the spout. The raised back of the lid makes the lid easy to screw on. The shell is made of polypropylene, and the copper-plated double layer glass tank keeps water at 80 degrees Celsius for six hours.

Xin Wang Coffee Set Kitchenware Friday, 11 September 2026

Water Droplet

Water Droplet is a coffee set inspired by the rounded form of water droplets. The set includes a coffee pot, coffee cups, saucers and a fruit plate. Each piece is made of porcelain clay, cast in plaster molds taken from a 3D printed resin model and fired to 1250 degrees Celsius. The curved handle offers a comfortable grip, and the contact point between the handle and the table adds stability to the coffee pot. The lid has no protruding knob and uses an inward curve, so the droplet shape remains complete.
