A collection inspired by traditional Korean roof tiles. One style is a decorative roof tile end, and the other is the complementary curved roof tile. Together, they represent the distinct shapes that have provided cover to houses, temples, and various public spaces in East Asia for thousands of years.
This collection speaks to the architecture of public bathhouses and residential bathrooms through the use of the tile form; an individual tile turns into an object that references a history of public and private spaces, both traditional and present-day.
Clay. Made in Japan.
