About Obori Soma Ware Matsunaga Kiln Botiga e Atelier

Lo Forn Matsunaga èra situat a Fukushima, Japon, e produsissiá d'artesanats tradicionals reconeguts amb mai de 300 ans d'istòria. Una caracteristica distinctiva de la ceràmica Obori Soma es sa estructura de dobla capa, que permet a aquesta ceràmica d'usatge quotidian de contenir l'aiga bolhenta e empacha que se refrede. Los conceptors an volgut incorporar e exprimir aquesta caracteristica dins l'arquitectura. Los conceptors pensan que las diferentas escalas de l'arquitectura e de la ceràmica, dins la meteissa composicion, s'influéncian mutualament.

Unique Properties
Matsunaga Kiln was located in Fukushima, Japan, producing the designated traditional crafts with more than 300 years of history.
One proprietary feature of Obori Soma Ware is its double-layered structure, which enables this daily-use ceramics to hold boiling water and prevents it from cooling down.
We wanted to incorporate and express this feature in our architecture.
We believe that the different scales of architecture and ceramics, in the same composition, influence each other.

Inspiration
In this project, a top light is installed at the top of the house. The top light brings plenty of light to the interior space. In the store, it expresses precise and vivid colors, and in the workshop, where delicate work is required, gentle and uniform light pours in through the shoji screens on the ceiling with high illumination. The top light above the checkout counter functions as a light that changes the impression of the back of the counter.
