Magpie is a thermo jug designed for daily use in the home. Magpie is offered in two sizes, holding 0.95 litres and 1.6 litres.

The spout follows the shape of a bird beak and tilts slightly upward to prevent dripping. A gold bird rests on the lid, and four colours are offered: white, orange, pink and green. The form draws attention to the protection of birds.

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.

Origami Shikki

Origami Shikki is a lacquered paper plate made from washi, a traditional Japanese paper. The design combines origami folding with the traditional crafts of washi paper and lacquerware. A lacquer coating makes the plate resistant to water and oil, so the plate can be washed with water and detergent and reused many times. The geometric form is folded from a single sheet of paper, which keeps the plate light and allows it to be folded flat for carrying. The washi is produced with the Echizen Hikake technique, giving a surface texture that changes with the angle of the light.

Whiskey Glass

The Finn

The Finn was designed as the ultimate tasting glass for the whiskey aficionado, where every element has been carefully conceived to allow the drinker to taste and nose the whiskey. The stem allows the drinker to elevate the whiskey, toast and proceed to nosing with optimal control, whilst the thicker glass density ensures the environment has no effect on the temperature of the whiskey. The Vortex Point, bulb and chicane come together to remove the ethanol vapour, ensuring the drinker can detect every layer of flavour and aroma that have developed through decades of time, craft and skill.

Timeless

Timeless is a kitchen furniture system that combines artistry, functionality, durability and customisation. The design carries a touch of nature through vertical lines inspired by water streaming down a window. The same lines appear in the shelving, the handles, the colour accents, the surface engravings and the pendant lampshade. The base cabinets are made of powder-coated aluminium, a material chosen for its structural strength. Cabinet interiors have edgeless corners for easy cleaning, and peg holes with brackets allow flexible shelf heights.
