Their construction method really shines light on their unique production technique, resulting in a velvety soft leather texture. Perfect for styling a foyer console, modern credenza, or as a tabletop centerpiece. As a result of the production process each piece is always one-of-a-kind.
Set includes 3 vessels as shown in the image.

6.5" diameter x 14" height
7" diameter x 12" height
5" diameter x 10" height
Made to order.
Signed and dated.
The Kawa Series is a collection of porcelain objects that are made by casting liquid clay into sewn leather molds. The precarious and beautifully-involved process is completely unique to Luft Tanaka Studio, and results in truly one-of-a-kind art objects. All pieces are handmade in Brooklyn at Luft Tanaka Studio.
Each Kawa piece starts as a sketch on paper. With the assistance of a 3-D modeling program, Luft creates patterns to be cut out of leather. After the leather mold, which can be reused about a dozen times, is sewn and prepared, liquid porcelain is poured inside. As the porcelain sits inside the mold, it forms a thin wall along the leather surface picking up the leather texture and organic form from the flexible leather mold. Once dry, the leather mold is carefully cut open using a seam ripper and delicately peeled off the piece which is then carefully finished by hand.
