Dignity in Design
Reframing assistive tableware as an object of beauty and pride, this series redefines how aging and care are perceived. Each piece integrates ergonomic details—curved handles, raised rims, and stable bases—so seamlessly that function and elegance become one. The signature ripple texture, inspired by Lake Biwa, enhances both grip and identity, while the fusion of 3D printing and urushi lacquer craftsmanship embodies a union of innovation and heritage. More than tableware, it is a cultural statement—proposing that design can empower aging with dignity, transforming daily rituals into acts of grace, respect, and enduring human connection.
