The twin comets shining in the sky are not simply racing aimlessly.
They continue to race toward Polaris, the North Star, which serves as a beacon for those who have lost their way, and in the hope of becoming stars that can illuminate the lives of others.
This collection was named the Polaris series with the hope that it will become a comforting light for someone.
Artist Profile
Hiro Kashihara
I create small supporting pieces that enhance the beauty and enjoyment of dining at the table.
I began making cutlery because my wife, who loves cooking, had collected beautiful tableware and cutlery. I started making them because I wanted to make her happy and for her to enjoy wonderful tea times.
I began producing them in earnest in 2020, establishing a style using materials such as brass and white metal that can be enjoyed as they age, under the concept of “cutlery that grows with you.”
Today, I view cutlery as a canvas and create new works by incorporating simple designs inspired by scenes and things I find beautiful.
Each piece is handmade by the artist.
There may be differences in texture, color, shape, and size between the photographs and the pieces you receive. Please enjoy these differences as part of each piece’s unique character.
