In Japan, there is an ancient type of pottery known as "Jomon earthenware," a culture that is thought to have begun approximately 13,000 years ago.

​

Using ceramic 3D printing technology, we have created a brazier that reinterprets the spirit of this ancient pottery.

Designed for gathering around a flame, this piece bridges the ancient origins of ceramic—which began as simple earthenware and has since evolved into an indispensable material across countless industries—with modern innovation.

​

I believe that ceramics hold the memory of the earth and of human life from ancient times.I wanted to engage in a dialogue with these distant material memories during the peaceful moments we spend around the fire. With this vision in mind, I created both a brazier and an LED-based lighting prototype designed to accompany contemporary living spaces. Through the synergy of ceramic 3D printing technology, these pieces bring forth a light filled with primitive brilliance.
