{"product_id":"bo1970","title":"SPIKY PLATE SUN M","description":"\u003cp\u003ePlates are usually designed in form and decoration to complement food, but this piece is a plate (5-sun size) that, in a sense, rejects being served on at all — a symbol of \"anti-wabi-sabi\". It asks what the user will place on it and how it will be styled, inviting a co-creation between maker and user's imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKoga treats the plate as a canvas, illustrated only with positive words styled after graffiti — \"Get Stand Up\", \"Stay Gold\", \"Silver Lining\". They are messages Koga casts out toward a world suffering under the pandemic.\u003cbr\u003eStuds covering the whole surface evoke punk, graffiti evokes street culture — both find their place on the canvas of tableware, developed within Japanese culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SPIKY series, said to deliberately approach today's flattened way of seeing things with a sense of the foreign and unfamiliar.\u003cbr\u003eIts form seems almost to refuse being picked up.\u003cbr\u003eThe protrusions radiating outward visualize — and make tangible — a force inherently latent within things.\u003cbr\u003eIt is rendered with a powerful expression, as if a force hidden within had burst out onto the surface.\u003cbr\u003eCeramics, a traditional craft nurtured over a long history.\u003cbr\u003eKoga intends, by adding formal stimulation there, to give whoever holds it a fresh sense of surprise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eArtist\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTakahiro Koga (Fukuoka)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial \u0026 Technique\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePorcelain Clay (Amakusa Porcelain Stone)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eW210 × D210 × H30 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e593g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYear\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"古賀 崇洋","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49232496492795,"sku":"BO1970","price":55000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/4745\/3947\/files\/bownd-bo-1970-1_251d5cd9-f48d-474e-aea1-c895c0266997.jpg?v=1787926512","url":"https:\/\/www.b-ownd.com\/en\/products\/bo1970","provider":"B-OWND","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
