Fruit Glass Bowl

Handcrafted by Kenichi Sasakawa, JP, c. 2026.

A generous, round-bodied bowl that sits low and steady — wide enough for fruit, yogurt, or grain, transparent enough to make a simple breakfast feel considered. The grey-blue glass takes on a particular quality in morning light, the suspended bubbles most visible against pale tones. As easy to leave on a shelf as to reach for at the table.

Working from his studio in Kyoto, Kenichi Sasakawa creates glass vessels from a mixture of recycled glass and metal materials, producing a distinctive fabric of fine bubbles suspended throughout each piece. His work moves between art and daily use — guided by a background in industrial design and an interest in forms that feel grounded in the hand and responsive to their surroundings, revealing the subtleties of breath, light, and temperature.

"I shape glass so light remains and the moment shifts."

Kenichi Sasakawa's vessels hold an atmospheric stillness. Distinguished by a soft grey-blue hue and the deliberate suspension of air bubbles, each piece is a record of precision shaped in shifting heat— where the immediacy of handwork meets the volatile nature of molten glass. These bubbles act as quiet prisms, refracting light and lending the work a subtle, sculptural presence.

Rejecting the cold perfection of industrial production, Sasakawa sought a more intuitive relationship with glass, one that feels natural in the hand and grounded in human scale. His practice focuses on crafting vessels that resonate with their surroundings, revealing the subtleties of breath, light, and temperature. Through repetition and observation, he arrives at forms that are neither ornamental nor clinical, but sensorial and alive. Each object is meant to be lived with, offering a soft presence that shifts gently with time and use.
