FORMA / Choemon Gama porcelain
Hirotoshi Maruwaka, the producer of Maruwakaya, asked Hayon if he was
interested in working with Kamide Choemon-gama, a pottery of one of
Japan’s most acclaimed traditional porcelain crafts, Kutaniyaki. The
answer was a resounding yes. Drawing from key ideas in Japanese culture
concerning relations and links between the people at the table, food,
seasons and table wares, the goal was to create pieces that help people
recognise these relationships. The resulting ‘FORMA’ series of
beautifully crafted bowls, cups and vessels is a sensitive balance
between the design ideals and philosophies of two cultures. First shown
in 2010 in a palette of rich blue and white with red accents, this
elegant white and gold collection for 2012 draws attention away from
pattern to focus on the simplcity and elegance of the forms themselves
