In the 19th century, a piece of enamelware arrived in Japan from the Netherlands, whereupon local lord Kaji Tsunekichi commissioned craftsmen to analyze and reproduce it. This led to the birth of the now renowned Owari Shippo craft, which is still produced around Nagoya today. For the CIBONE COLLECTION, CIBONE has chosen to revive this link with the Netherlands. They have asked renowned Dutch designer Hella Jongerius to collaborate with Japan’s most famous enamelware company, Ando Shippo, to apply her modern design approach to this very traditional Japanese craft.
