The teapot – much more than a vessel
They are undisputed centrepiece of every tea experience: whether crafted from rustic stoneware, delicate porcelain, transparent glass or heat-retaining cast iron, teapots come in a wide variety of materials. Beyond their practical function, they serve as elegant focal points on the table, with classic or contemporary designs reflecting individual taste and personal style.
“Toki” by Jinsui
Based in Tokoname, Japan's renowned pottery capital, Jinsui combines masterful craftsmanship with contemporary design. The shape of the “Toki” collection is modelled on a clock and invites you to pause amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life to enjoy a cup of tea.
Matcha – the green superfood
Matcha, a finely ground green tea powder, lies at the heart of the Japanese tea ceremony. Traditionally whisked with a bamboo whisk using a gentle zigzag motion, it develops its signature creamy texture and rich, distinctive flavour. Naturally rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, Matcha has enjoyed growing popularity around the world for many years. It is a trendy drink as a matcha latte, but this green power powder can also be found in ice cream and chocolate.
Matcha container by MUSUBI KILN
With the Nishimoto Matcha Canister, MUSUBI KILN presents an exquisite storage tin, handcrafted from Japanese cherry birch. A bamboo grove shimmers in gold against the deep black lacquer. The motif is considered to bring good luck and adorns many tea utensils.
Japandi Living
Japandi Living combines the understated elegance of Japanese interior design with the warm cosiness of Scandinavian design. Whilst the Scandi style emphasises the concept of “hygge” – a sense of well-being – Japanese aesthetics incorporate the philosophy of ‘wabi-sabi’. This celebrates beauty in imperfection and promotes mindfulness. The term Japandi itself is a blend of Japan and Scandi(navian).
Blomus is renowned for intelligent, minimalist and functional design. The brand brings together the work of international designers to form contemporary home décor. The “Nagomi” chair and the “Moco” sofa were created by the Japanese designer Kazushige Miyake; the “Makoto” tableware is by Carsten Gollnick from Germany, as is the “Volos” table by Sebastian Herkner, whilst the “Eta” side table showcases Swedish design by Anton Björsing at its very best.
More about BlomusJapandi elements – less is more
Natural materials such as wood, ceramics, linen and cotton, as well as handcrafted accessories, characterise the Japandi style. The colour palette is dominated by neutral colours such as beige, taupe and grey, as well as subtle shades of green and earth tones. The focus is on long-lasting quality – because the basic idea is to own fewer, but carefully selected, pieces of furniture.
Linen by Erika Vaitkute
Classic design with a casual feel – that’s the “Audra” linen collection by Erika Vaitkute. Pre-washing makes the pure linen, with its elegant herringbone weave and fine selvedge, soft and supple. The collection is available in four colours: black, grey, mint and saffron.
