器を重ねスタッキングすることで浮かび上がる伝統柄。新しいスタイルの伝統工芸・江戸切子「nect(ネクト)」は、ブッフェスタイルやオードブルなど多様化する食文化への提案をはじめ、さまざまな用途にお使いいただけるガラス製の器です。柄は七宝と菊の2種類で、色展開はクリア、イエロー、グレー、ピンクの4種。5センチ角ほどの小振りなキューブ状の器が、テーブルを華やかに彩ります。
A series of small glassware. By stacking these glassware containers, you can enjoy traditional Japanese patterns that come up from the pile. This innovative style of “nect” was not seen in Edo Kiriko, a traditional craft, to date.
“nect” glassware lineups are my proposal for a new application to today’s diversifying food culture, for a buffet table set-up, a hors-d’oeuvre container and other variety of purposes. ”nect” comes with two patterns, Shippo and chrysanthemum, and with four colors, clear, yellow, gray and pink . Small-sized cubic shaped (approx. 2inc×2inc) glassware gorgeously decorate table set-ups. This is produced by Kimoto Glass Tokyo.
“「東京に来たお客様をおもてなしする江戸切子があったら素敵だろうな」という想いでパーティーシーンでよく使われる小さな器デザインしました。重ねると江戸の伝統柄が浮かび上がるように、一つ一つ切子の職人さんが調整しながら手作業でカットしています。”
“This design started with a thought, “It would be nice to use Edo Kiriko (cut glass) items when hosting some guests who visit Tokyo.” So I designed a set of small dishes that can be used at parties. Each cut is done by craftsmen by hand and is adjusted to create traditional Edo design when the dishes are stacked together.”
