Objects/goods have different "status" depending on respective cultural backgrounds.
In the world of pottery, tea bowls, floral organs, and sake cups tend to have higher status despite of the same or similar materials and processes are used, and being sold at higher prices. Needless to say, creator's techniques, the power of expression, and reputation are added values on top, and it finally start revealing outline of what we recognize as "value."
On the other hand, for various miscellaneous tablewares, extremely low-priced products flooded in from Asian countries, giving customers the sense that you can buy ceramic ware at 1$ and due to this ultimate trends have already made Japanese local manufacturers and producers close their business one after another.
Pottery is originally a very attractive crafts produced by rich expressions produced by traditional materials and high heat. Even for everyday-use, secca can't help feeling strange and thinking that why their values are so low nowadays.
Secca therefore used the same mass-production technologies and production sites but challenged ourselves to add "statuses" to our ceramic wares through our designs and ideas.
The metal frame was intricately designed to secure a structure that can withstand the weight and handle electric wiring beautifully and the pottery's contraction percentage was also considered in the design so that parts created through pottery can be structured in intended layouts as opposed to the metal frame.
A pottery chandelier was finally produced with a diameter of over two meters and composed of about 400 parts. The combustion phenomenon creates a non-uniform and matte glaze tone in this pottery chandelier, as it illuminates the night.
We believe this is very secca, transforming things by using both industrial and craft technologies.
