Dress
Dress is a pottery furniture collection that is also shown as an art installation. The collection presents hanging cloth in porcelain, forming a momentary space that appears to defy gravity. Glass cloth is soaked in clay slurry and fired in layers at 1150 degrees Celsius for one day, which adds strength while keeping the material light. Sand supports the shape during firing. Chairs, tables and lighting fixtures have been developed in the collection. The porcelain also transmits light, so the pieces suit use as lamps.
Dress Pottery Furniture Collection by Masahiro Kito has been selected as an exceptional representation of communication design by the A' Design Award. Dress Pottery Furniture Collection won the Bronze A' Design Award in Fine Arts and Art Installation Design in 2022. The A' Fine Arts and Art Installation Design Award is a highly prestigious, international, juried design award which recognizes excellent design of sculptures, paintings, installations, photographs, drawings, mixed media works, ceramics, art objects, craftworks and more.
