YUMESAI
A super fun collaboration with authentic japanese matcha brand Yumesai. Founded by Irene, Yumesai offers first harvest matcha (umami and sweet) from Shizuoka, Japan at the foot of Mount Fuji. With rich umami notes, subtle sweetness and a creamy texture.
For this collaboration, I've crafted a chawan to complement the vision of YUMESAI in enjoying every little moment in life.
Ōkami
A fun collaboration with Ōkami — run by Hale and Emre who have opened their Japan inspired coffee cafe where you can enjoy coffee from Schot Coffee Roasters and Five Ways Coffee Roasters in a serene setting.
For this collaboration, I created a set of handmade cups for serving their coffee and matcha - adding a personal, crafted touch to every sip.
SOGEUM
A lovely collaboration with SOGEUM Bakery —where Seoul meets Paris in the heart of Rotterdam. Founded by my dear friend Carroll, SOGEUM offers handmade viennoiserie pastries with a Korean twist, alongside carefully brewed coffee and malcha.
For this collaboration, I created a set of handmade cups for serving their coffee and malcha — bringing together our shared love for craft, flavor, and thoughtful details.
PANTOUFLE
Collaboration with PANTOUFLE — a beautiful interior design store that brings together thoughtfully crafted objects made with care by talented makers from around the world. Their collection of interior and lifestyle products celebrates everyday rituals—from the first cup of coffee in the morning to the quiet corner of a home where one feels most at ease.
For this collaboration, I created a ceramic lampshade that balances simplicity and functionality. Minimal in form yet versatile in character, it is designed to bring a warm and subtle presence to a variety of living spaces.
Each lampshade is made from light brown stoneware clay and glazed on the inside with either a transparent gloss or an off-white finish, while the exterior is left unglazed to preserve the natural texture and warmth of the clay. The contrast between the refined interior surface and the raw exterior highlights the material's inherent beauty and creates a soft, atmospheric light.
Sakura Stories
A new favorite spot in Rotterdam, Sakura Stories brings together an English-language bookstore, specialty matcha, and carefully curated Japanese ceramics. For this collaboration, I created a collection of handmade cups for visitors to enjoy their coffee or matcha while browsing the bookstore's collection.
Each cup is crafted from light brown stoneware clay and finished with a flowing swoosh glaze, highlighting the natural warmth and character of the clay. Designed for everyday use, these pieces invite moments of quiet reading, conversation, and appreciation of handmade objects.
The cups are available for use and enjoyment at Sakura Stories, where books, tea, and ceramics come together in a unique and welcoming space.
