Merging Taiwanese and Japanese Craftsmanship, Embracing the Art of Writing with Vibrant Colors
Each colored copper plate features a unique, one-of-a-kind pattern that cannot be replicated. Modern design combined with vibrant classic colors turns every writing moment into a journey through the most beautiful times.
Drawing on centuries of craftsmanship, Japanese artisan Orii and Taiwan's DOT design team have collaborated to create a dual-purpose fountain pen that embodies the Wabi-Sabi aesthetics of Japan. The pen’s unique texture and patterns reflect over 400 years of traditional techniques, seamlessly blending classic elements into modern life, adding both texture and color to everyday experiences.
Orii’s Infinite Palette: Unmatched Colors and Textures
Hailing from Takaoka, Japan, Orii's work elevates and evolves traditional craftsmanship of over 400 years, presenting a distinct color and texture. Not only does it reflect Japan's Wabi-Sabi aesthetic, but it also brings a refined design sensibility to modern daily life, adding a vibrant touch to everyday experiences. Each piece by Orii is handcrafted, using a traditional technique of repeated fusion, boiling, and soaking, allowing copper to corrode and reveal elegant colors naturally, showcasing the profound beauty of metal.
