Japan has shaped his work from the start, including the Japanese principle he designs by: no object is more important than another, because even the smallest piece has a use and a meaning. His studio has designed more than 100 products and won the iF Design Award, the German Design Award and the Red Dot Design Award.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we carry it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are an authorized blomus retailer and have been curating design-led pieces for the home since 2009. MAKOTO pairs clear geometry with a subtle base that makes each piece seem to float just above the table. Gollnick gave the two glazes deliberately different characters: Moonbeam looks like the landscape of the moon’s surface, while Elephant Skin is smooth and matte. blomus is a family company run by the fourth generation of the Blome family in Sundern, Germany. It began in 1921 making bicycle parts, moved into copper, brass, pewter and stainless-steel design pieces in 1961, and has worked under the blomus name since 2000.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy once: durability and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDishwasher and microwave safe, according to blomus.
