Dialogical Relationship

The cut glass design aims to inspire creative thinking by invoking various stories, such as past experiences, gratitude for the present, and anticipation for the future. The design features rabbit-like characters expressing different emotions, creating a dialogical scene. The characters' emotional expressions are presented repetitively, with variations near the mouth to develop the story. This design encourages people to reflect on their past experiences and prospects while symbolizing the importance of dialogical relationships.

Elsewhere

Elsewhere is a porcelain tableware set that combines tea and floral art. It draws inspiration from the Chinese aesthetics and philosophy, but also challenges them with a bold design. The pieces have a white finish and an indented pattern with small openings that reveal an inner layer. The openings create a contrast between the solid and the empty, the perfect and the imperfect, the real and the imaginary. They tempt the user to explore the hidden beauty and meaning of the objects, and to escape from the dull reality to a different world.

Glass and Coaster

Outotsu

Outotsu means unevenness in Japanese. Stacking is now possible with the concave part of the glass and the convex part of the coaster. The coaster absorbs water droplets that form on the glass. It also has excellent deodorizing and antibacterial properties. The protrusions on the bottom of the glass create convection when you pour a drink into it, drawing in air that enhances the aroma and balances the flavor of the drink. There is no need to mix with a stirrer, and the beer will foam better. Another convenient feature is that both can be stacked for storage.

Central to the design is a touch-centric kitchen island set against thoughtfully selected art and airy open shelves. A notable feature: cleverly hidden pantry storage that enhances the sense of unbroken space. The custom two-toned kitchen masterfully marries tradition with modernity, beautifully balancing design with unparalleled utility.
