A small studio making lighting, linens, and table objects in small runs — with independent makers across Europe and Japan.
Yohei has thrown pots in the same small studio for twenty-six years, on a hill where the earth fires a particular iron-red. When we arrived in late March, the cherries were just beginning.
What follows is a short essay, and a few photographs, from the two weeks we spent watching him work on what would become this edition's Miroka stoneware.
Read the pieceEverything we sell comes from a maker we've met in person. We visit each studio twice a year — at minimum.
"A pot is finished when it feels quiet in your hands."
"The oven tells me when it's time — I just learn to listen."
"Wool is a conversation between the animal, the weather, and the hand."
"The bowls have that weight that makes you pay attention. I've rearranged my cabinets to make them visible on purpose."
"Arrived wrapped in linen, tied with twine. You can tell someone actually cared. The lamp throws the softest light I've ever had in this apartment."
"I bought the linen throw eight months ago and it's only gotten better with use. The color deepens, the hand softens. This is how things should be made."
New editions, essays from our makers' studios, and the occasional quiet recipe. No spam, no tracking pixels, no filler.
