Kira SPIKY CUP

A cup evoking the mysterious iridescent colors of a jewel beetle. The aim, it is said, was to express a color that defies naming.
A luxurious piece whose interior sparkles brilliantly when filled with a clear liquid.

The SPIKY series deliberately approaches today's flattened way of seeing things with a sense of the foreign. It is distinguished by a form that seems to refuse being picked up at all.
The "studs" jutting out from the vessel make visible and tangible a force inherently latent within an object. The result is a powerful expression, as if the hidden strength within had burst out onto the surface.

Ceramics, a traditional craft nurtured over a long history. Koga intends, by introducing a stimulus in form, to give the person holding it a fresh sense of surprise.
