Eat Your Art Out

Moderngoods China

Ever since your bum-grazing tresses were set aflame by a candle while you were belting out “I Want You to Want Me” at a karaoke bar, you’ve avoided playing with fuego.

But you can’t help but get fired up about Yuki Murata’s dishware. After a friend commissioned her to design wedding china, Murata realized she was onto something, and Moderngoods was born.

Her background in architecture and industrial design shines through in the stunning organic vessels. Created through an intricate process called slip casting, the hand-painted motifs are serene and refreshing. Choose from antlers, coral, maple, storms, kelp, and seashells.

Of course, you’ll have to dish it out for such works of art.

Because this is no cheap trick.
