The dining experience
A concept visualisation pairs the bowl with chopsticks, a ceramic spoon and a linen napkin.
The wider collection
The brief was to translate a restrained Japanese sensibility into the objects guests see, touch and use—from the dining table to the moment the experience leaves the restaurant.
The collection brings together irregular ceramic forms, dark and natural finishes, smoky glassware, warm wood and subtle bronze accents. Rather than applying a logo to unrelated pieces, every object follows the same material language.
The takeaway range continues that identity through textured papers, tonal branding and simple, precise forms, creating one visual thread across dine-in, service and packaging.
