Group of work from which the word LandscapeWare was derived.
An expression by Yanai, one of the founding members of secca, discovered before joining the company.
Yanai worked as a product designer for a manufacturer, but could not see a future for his own work beyond mass production and mass consumption, so he returned to the roots of craftsmanship, and became a potter to handmake things that will be cherished for a long time. As a result of exploring the expressions of pottery that utilize the aesthetics and techniques cultivated as a product designer, we crossed 3DCAD modeling with pottery, and the origin of this book series purely expressing specialty in modeling was born.
It is a tableware made using only white porcelain materials and forms, with shadows being the only decoration.
Inspired by the rolling of the land created by nature, designs made from a compilation of the artist’s own modeling aesthetics, which involve no colors, leave the viewer with space for imagination, allowing an imaginary landscape to unfold in front of them.
Exploring the possibilities of this series continued after joining secca, and the experiences of seeing a colorless plate coming to life vividly through encounters with chefs has linked to more creative work.
