Maker / Brand
Operating in a region where the various steps of pottery crafting are usually split among different studios, Choemon Kiln was among the first to bring the entire process under one roof.
While further honing their skills each day, they also strive to take their potential to new heights by embracing diverse challenges. One of their recent exciting projects is a collaboration with Spanish designer Jaime Hayon on the production of unique creations such as skull-shaped candy jars—one of which is in the collection of the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa.
