Oji Masanori is a Japanese designer with a special interest in the objects of everyday life—his design process involves careful consideration of the lives of its users and the manufacturing process by which it’s created. Professionally trained in calligraphy and architecture, he founded his studio in 2004 after working for several years as an architect and graphic designer. His work is strongly influenced by Japan’s rich history of craft while looking to the future of industry.
The traditional brass colouring technique "Black Mottled Colouring," cultivated by Takaoka casting, gives the appearance of an ancient artifact. Unlike standard painting or plating, this method creates a unique and warm antique metal look with each piece displaying individual characteristics. As you use it, the brass develops a patina over time, deepening its colour and adding richness to its appearance, similar to the aging process of brass-cast textures.
