OTARU is innovative in design yet pure in form. It combines elements of antique China, such as brown tea pottery and tiny feet, with an overall modern look. The series was drawn for our Oriental Collection by designer SUNs, a Red Dot Award winner.
The OTARU vase OTA20BB was selected by François Bernard for the “What’s New” design competition at Maison&Objet 2022 in Paris. The pieces are made of high-end Chinese tea pottery, with a finish that fades from bronze to black.

Styling OTARU
The proportions are sober and balanced, and the bronze finish adds a touch of traditional craftsmanship. OTARU suits ikebana arrangements and looks equally good as tableware or as a decorative set.
