Noritake has launched four new design-led collections under the Noritake Design Collection umbrella.
Under the creative steer of creative director Yuichiro Hori, the Noritake Design Collection sees a series of design experts craft unique and carefully considered collections for the brand. The Design Collection is a celebration of Noritake’s century old traditions and global roots and sees creative forces such as designers Yabu Pushelberg, Faye Toogood, Marc Newson, AB Concept, and the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.
One of the first collection’s coming out of the collective is Rose by Faye Toogood. Rose is the designer’s tribute to her kitchen garden.
“The relationship I have grown with my garden is deeply personal… bordering on the spiritual. I take great comfort in the cycles of sprouting, budding, flowering, ripening, waning … and then rebirth. In the South Downs of England, I tend heritage flowers alongside a recipe-book of ingredients for the table. For Rose I wanted to give an impression of how the garden feels… makes me feel. Especially in the barefoot, solitary moments of sunrise,” the designer says.
The collection comprises seventeen unique pieces hand-painted during Toogood’s residency in Japan (signed and packaged in hand-painted boxes) and a limited edition of 111 reproduced pieces decorated with Toogood’s Rose artwork.
The collection can only be described as a riot of colour, stunning pinks play artfully with darker greens mimicking, the designer says, the palette of an English garden at sunrise.
Excitingly, there is more to come from the Noritake Design Collection – a truly forward-thinking exploration of the capabilities of porcelain and a celebration of Noritake’s legacy.
