Kyoto Collection The legendary gardens of Kyoto are among the national treasures of Japan. Kyoto exemplifies the elegance and quietude of Asia's past. This collection is imbued with the Japanese sensibility known as "shibui" meaning understated and refined, so it may complement its surroundings in nature. Inspired interpretations of traditional elements found in the architecture of teahouses, shoji screens and cast tatami mats form the center piece of this new modern classic. The powder-coated cast and extruded aluminum framework is remarkably finished in the rich and aged appearance of raku pottery. The unique aesthetic of crackle-glazed ceramics originated in Asia during the 1500s. |
