→(buy)Our mugs are crafted by "Blankware_," based in Fukuoka. Born from years of experience interacting with various domestic and international products—including the operation of the lifestyle goods shop "B・B・B POTTERS"—their tableware naturally blends into the scenery of everyday life. Adorning the center of each cup is a paper-cut motif by graphic designer Ikki Kobayashi. Around 200 different paper-cut designs were created for this project, with specific motifs carefully selected to match each room and item.
Like a small collection of specimens gathered by someone, various motifs are scattered throughout the hotel.
