1616/arita japan presents the Tea Cup and Hojicha Cup—two enduring designs by Danish ceramicist Richard Manz. Intertwining principles of Scandinavian design with Japanese craftsmanship, these intuitively appealing vessels honour Manz’s legacy and exhibit an ever-relevant approach to everyday objects.
