Parthenon

This Arita-ware white porcelain side table is shaped like a multi-sided column. Gentle vertical grooves run along its surface, evoking the pillars of Greek architecture and forming delicate gradations of light and dark. Yet, unlike the perfect symmetry of marble, this piece carries the subtle irregularities born from the firing process—imperfections that give it a warmth unique to ceramics. As furniture, the porcelain form brings a refreshing presence to any space. It blends seamlessly with both modern interiors and traditional Japanese settings. Whether used as a side table or placed alone as an object of quiet beauty, it highlights the pure and serene nature of porcelain. This piece reimagines porcelain beyond its traditional role, opening new possibilities for the material.
