Hoshikage Collection Noritake

Craft Meets Curiosity

‍

To celebrate its 120th anniversary, Noritake collaborated with our studio to create Hoshikage, the debut tableware collection within the Noritake Design Collection.

‍

The brief centered on elevating the artistry of everyday tableware and uniting our Yabu Pushelberg vision with Noritake’s long tradition of craftsmanship, reintroducing the brand to a global audience through a collection that honored its heritage while opening room for contemporary interpretation.

Galaxy Served Daily

‍

Back in New York, George and Glenn were interested in moving beyond the idea that tableware must be limited to white to ennoble the presentation of food. They began to explore an image inspired by an ethereal night sky they had glimpsed from their beach house after a dinner party.

‍

This sparked the idea of a collection that transforms meals into galactic moments, showing the magic that can exist both in the universe and on our dining tables.

‍

Surface That Never Repeats

‍

The textured surfaces are the result of an advanced technique called yohen, which creates lustrous glistening and iridescent patterns that reveal new dimensions and depth.

‍

This glazing process, perfected over generations, reflects the beauty found in imperfection and the unpredictable nature of ceramics, which means that no two vessels are ever quite the same.

‍

The intricate patterns and finish of the collection are the consequence of a concentrated experimental procedure, exploring how each pigment and material interacts and using layers of reactive glazes in a new way.

‍

Everything Celestial

The Hoshikage collection, named after the Japanese word for starlight, beautifully intertwines Noritake’s legacy of meticulous artistry with our studio's creative touch, inviting people to see tableware not just as dining essentials but as pieces that spark wonder and make every meal an experience to remember.

‍

The 19 piece collection captures the quiet grace of the celestial sky, with mesmerizing astral patterns, available in both dark and light options.
