Elevating the Ritual: KOUad x Rentaro Arakawa
We are thrilled to unveil our latest collaboration with wood and urushi (lacquer) artisan Rentaro Arakawa. This special series reimagines the daily coffee ritual through the lens of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, resulting in a collection of vessels designed specifically for the discerning coffee enthusiast.
Arakawa-san’s work has always been defined by a striking textural dichotomy, and this collection is no exception. By combining his unique lacquering techniques with a modern form, we have created a vessel that honors the complexity of coffee—from the visual depth of the brew to the warmth of the cup in hand.
Beyond coffee, the elegant form and rich texture of this cup make it equally suitable for a beautiful matcha latte, a comforting tea, or any beverage of your choice.
The wooden core provides exceptional thermal insulation, keeping your drink at the ideal temperature while remaining remarkably comfortable to hold. The natural lacquer itself is inherently antibacterial and resilient, beautifully evolving in character and luster with every single use.
