「KORAI」が提案するセンスウェアとして生まれた、手吹きガラスの水の器。日本の庭に置かれた水鉢のように、暮らしの中で風や光を感じるための作品です。水を入れ、窓辺に置くと、風に揺れる波紋が地面に映り込み、自然の揺らぎや移ろいを感じられる贅沢な時間を演出します。

人々の感性に働きかけ、新たな感覚の扉を開けてくれる道具。それらは、「センスウェア」と呼ばれることがあります。私たちは、工芸品を通じて、風や水、光の姿を感じる新しい術を表現したいと思いました。私たちのセンスウェアは、移ろう自然に身を任せ、暮らしの中に新たな息を吹き込む、涼しげなアートピースです。

A water vessel made from handblown glass. This is a representation of the concept of “senseware” by “KORAI”. It is named after the Greek word which means water vessel. This senseware allows us to feel the wind and the light in our daily living similar to the water bowl which is often placed in a Japanese garden. By filling the vessel with water and setting it by the window, it reflects wavering water ripples on the surface it sits on and creates a pleasant time in tune with the change of nature.

Wares that trigger human sensitivity and open the doors to new senses. We call this “senseware”. It
is our desire to introduce a novel way to feel the presence of wind, water and light, through craft
products. Our senseware which we had accomplished takes the form of a cool looking art piece that
will breathe new life into our daily living which goes with the flow of nature’s constant change.
