New Design Collab - Japan Brand / Bouroullec brothers
Following their mission of developing Japan’s craftsmanship and industry, JAPAN BRAND invited Erwan and Ronan Bouroullec to conceive a contemporary object using traditional know-hows, trying to open the way for new uses and applications.
“After ten days in fascinating immersion with craftsmen, trying to understand all techniques, fabrication atmospheres and decisive criteria for realization, we decided to concentrate onto lacquerware only and to choose the workshop we felt most appropriate for a deep and smooth collaboration. Our main desire was to show the beauty of perfectly reflecting lacquer and its possible uses in everyday life, through simple yet precious objects of sorts.”
