CERAMIC edition
Kyoto
HANDBLOWN GLASS, CZECHIA / HANDTURNED WOOD, FINALnD / ceramic, germanyKyoto is a thoughtfully crafted Stacking Vessel, inspired by the elegance of Japanese culture and traditional customs. Designed with a reverence for balance and simplicity, this sculptural piece pays tribute to the art of minimalism and the quiet beauty of natural materials.
The vessel is composed of three distinct elements: a large, bulbous hand-blown glass bowl, a smooth ceramic plate, and a small turned wooden bowl. Each component reflects the purity and tactile richness of its material, coming together in a harmonious, functional form that invites both admiration and use.
Kyoto is a celebration of artisanal craftsmanship, cultural nuance, and refined design—a timeless object that brings meaning and serenity to any space.
