NEW LIGHT POTTERY

New Light Pottery is a lighting manufacturer based in Nara, the ancient former capital of Japan. Founded in 2015 by designers Hiroyuki Nagatomi and Chizu Nara, the brand's mission is to preserve and celebrate Japanese craftsmanship and traditions. The understated designs highlight the textures and natural beauty of brass, glass, ceramics, and Japanese washi paper—the core materials used in New Light Pottery’s lamps. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans in Japan. Keeping production local not only honours tradition but also allows for minor adjustments, bespoke orders, and unique finishes with ease.

New Light Pottery's lamps fuse timeless design and high-quality craftsmanship that will last for generations. The exhibition features a selection of lamps made of brass, glass, ceramics, wood and washi paper, and offers a rare opportunity to get a close look at the exceptional work of Japan's artisans.

Fucina Frammenti is a sustainable brand with an online shop focused on contemporary designs that prioritise material analysis and production processes. The brand aims to find new uses for Noble Waste—processed or semi–finished results—derived from the production cycles of other companies. This waste is repurposed through thoughtful design, creating new products with minimal energy expenditure while adhering to principles of disassemblability and monomateriality. This formula, called Noble Waste Mix, embodies a circular production-consumption-reuse model. Fucina Frammenti continually refines its practices through research, experimentation, and exploration of new materials, resulting in a constantly evolving product catalog.

Every Kvik kitchen comes with a calculation that tells customers how much recycled wood and how many recycled plastic bottles were used to make it and the CO2e footprint of their kitchen.
