Plate S / ONE KILN x Julien Colombier

A unique collaboration between French artist Julien Colombier and ONE KILN. Curated by The Inoue Brothers...

In recent years we have explored their Japanese heritage and traditions discovering new ways of actualising the relevance of old crafts. This led them to Yusuke Kido of One Kiln ceramics, who is evolving the ceramic tradition of Kyushu, the southern island of Japan, to exciting contemporary heights mixing traditional techniques with modern minimalist shapes and conceptual ideas.

Yusuke's trademark One Kiln collection using black ashes from the active volcano on Sakurajima, inspired us to combine the beautiful natural canvas of ceramics and volcanic glaze with Julien's exotic colourful artwork.
This is the story behind their first “Made in Kagoshima” collaboration project.
