Porcelain Dishwasher and Microwave Safe Made in Japan 2016/ makes contemporary porcelain using the specialist skills found in the pottery town of Arita, Japan. In celebration of 40 0 years of pottery production in Arita - 2016/ brought together 16 designers from around the world with an array of cultural backgrounds. The designers have re-interpreted classic Arita-ware, harnessing all the craft’s techniques to usher forth a new creative standard that the world will embrace as part of everyday living. Designer: Teruhiro Yanagihara This simple tableware series with its stackable function aspires to become a global standard for everyday dining use. Designer Teruhiro Yanagihara suggested a design concept based on the notion of perfection and imperfection co-existing within beauty, taking his inspiration from the phenomena that invariably occur during the glazing stage of the porcelain manufacturing process. So, based on the belief common in Japan since ancient times that true beauty lies in imperfection, Yanagihara positively embraced any uneven or mottled glazing that would have previously been deemed as defective in Arita, giving this tableware collection its distinctive and beguiling appearance.
