The vase is abstract, geometric, minimalist, with angular ceramic slabs and floating blocks in forest green and rusty red glazes positioned around a white cylinder.
The exhibition is the first outside Japan for Tajimi Custom Tiles, which taps into its long heritage of ceramic craftmanship to produce quality customised tiles for international architects and designers. The company first launched in Tokyo in 2020 with a sleekly curated exhibition featuring contemporary tile installations by Max Lamb and Kwangho Lee, whose work will once again be showcased in the Milan exhibition.
The new exhibition showcases the specialist tile production methods for which Tajimi’s craftsmen have long been famed – from clay extrusion to pressure moulding – filtered through a creative contemporary prism. There are the knitting-like white looped lines of Lee’s serenely minimalist installations, created from modules using clay extrusion, which can be stacked horizontally or vertically to create functional objects such as walls or seating.
The Bouroullec creations, which are debuting in Milan, offer a different spin yet again on the versatility of the shapes, colours and textures of Tajimi’s tile production capabilities. Their vase-like objects consist of geometric elements, created using clay extrusion techniques, attached to a large cylindrical body, with each component in a different shade, reflecting the vivid visual range of Japanese glazes.
