Centering sustainability and craftsmanship, the Relaunch Series breathes new life into high-quality, reclaimed stock.
To make the most of the resources at hand, the artisans carefully combine two pieces of wood, obscuring the seam in the rim to disguise any signs of joinery with innovative design practices.
Each bowl is made from Toki wood (Japanese horse chestnut), known for its durability and fine grain. A finish of urushi lacquer protects it from everyday use while highlighting the wood's natural appeal.
With three sizes to choose from, you’ll have options for every dining occasion, from snacking to multi-course meals.
About the craftsman
Yamanaka lacquerware
The tableware is made using kijibiki woodturning and lacquerware techniques in Yamanaka Onsen, Ishikawa Prefecture. To highlight the original beauty of the tree and ensure the durability of the ware, craftspeople opt to saw tategi-dori following the direction of the wood grain.
Gato Mikiko Shoten is responsible for coordinating the production of these pieces among multiple artisans and workshops in the Yamanaka area. From wood turning, to urushi application, to final touches, each piece passes through the hands of expert artisans.
