SAKE

Tradition with a Twist ︱A celebration of Autumn by Cosmin Ciofirdel
23 November - 31 December 2023

Autumn, the sublime art of impermanence.

Much like everything in nature, the creations take shape and shift with time, embodying the fragility of existence. In essence, my sake cups and bottles become vessels of narrative connecting us to the natural world in ways both tangible and profound.

Each piece tells a story of nature's influence, the ephemerality, the balance struck between the functional and the sculptural and of the dynamic dialogue between materials, forms, and colours.

With this online exhibition Sake - Tradition with a Twist - A celebration of Autumn, I invite viewers to explore their own emotional landscapes and contemplate the ephemeral nature of existence.

A symphony of colours and textures will be revealed within each vessel I meticulously crafted. A stylish fusion of tradition and modernity that embodies both the purity of sake and the aesthetic grace of Japanese culture with a twist of contemporary, promising you a delightful drinking experience every time.

Whether you are hosting a formal gathering or enjoying a quiet evening, the vessels will add a touch of elegance to your ritual.

I invite you to elevate your sake experience today with the meticulously curated collection of cups and bottles. Embrace the tradition, savour the taste, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
