Scholten & Baijings - 1616 / Arita / Japan - Plate Deep (10) - s.b. 10, 12, 14, 16, 18

The Japanese porcelain industry dates from 1616 when a Korean ceramist discovered that you could use crushed stone from the Arita region to make excellent porcelain. Keeping an industry alive for 400 years does not only necessitate cherishing it, but also innovating it. For their "Colour Porcelain", Scholten & Baijings combined tradition with innovation. Based on extensive research of the Japanese Arita ceramic and an analysis of historical local masterpieces, Scholten & Baijings created a service. This set of 2 x 5 deep plates is one of the fine results. 2 x deep plate, diameter: 8 x 1. 5 cm 2 x deep plate, diameter: 12. 5 x 2 cm 2 x deep plate, diameter: 18 x 2. 5 cm 2 x deep plate, diameter: 22. 5 x 3 cm 2 x deep plate, diameter: 27. 5 x 3 cm Stefan Scholten and Carole Baijings have been working together since 2000. Scholten studied at the Design Academy Eindhoven, Baijings is self-taught. After the realisation of the various projects where they felt for the borders between autonomous and applied work, their new work emphasises interior design.
