Artist Hirotaka Tobimatsu - Tobimatsu Toki's warm spaces and vessels

Born in Saga Prefecture in 1980, currently residing in Tokyo. He presents works centered on cast porcelain under the name "Tobimatsu Toki." He graduated from Tama Art University's Craft Department, Ceramics Program. Utilizing his experience in three-dimensional modeling with molds during his studies, he began creating "vessels" using the slipcasting technique. After working as an assistant to potters Takehiko Higuchi and Taeko Ogawa, he became independent.

Hirotaka Tobimatsu's works are characterized by their ability to create a warm atmosphere through the interplay of light and shadow. The designs, which utilize the translucency of porcelain, have a "retro modern" feel that is both nostalgic and fresh. His diverse works, such as lampshades, "vessels," and vases, combine delicate beauty with simplicity, gently illuminating everyday living spaces. They are also used in the lighting fixtures at the nokaze store, creating a presence that colors the entire space.

Simple and modern vessels that maximize the translucency of Tobimatsu Toki's porcelain

Hirotaka Tobimatsu's works are characterized by his technique of maximizing the translucency of porcelain. In the casting method used by Hirotaka Tobimatsu, liquid porcelain clay is poured into a plaster mold to achieve uniform, smooth shapes and beautiful translucency. A unique feature is the use of specially adjusted porcelain clay to create a delicate texture that allows more light to pass through than ordinary porcelain.

Lampshades, in particular, are captivating with their design that gently envelops the entire space with soft light in the darkness, giving a modern yet somewhat nostalgic impression. Furthermore, plates and bowls combine durability suitable for daily use with simple beauty, and vases are designed to bring natural harmony to plants and spaces.

A comfortable time woven by light and shadow

Hirotaka Tobimatsu's works clearly demonstrate his strong commitment to the expression of light. Tobimatsu says, "Light is not just physical brightness; it brings peace of mind to people's hearts." True to his words, his works create warmth and rhythm in space through light.

In his lampshades, the angle at which light escapes and its softness are meticulously calculated, making them artistic pieces that go beyond mere lighting fixtures. Furthermore, the subtle unevenness and delicate shades that appear on the porcelain surface create a contrast of light and shadow, expressing a beauty as if capturing a natural landscape.

Among them, many "vessels" are created using unique techniques. Their simple designs exude a delicate charm, enriching everyday life. And the "vessels" are light and exceptionally easy to use. Once you use them, you'll find them indispensable.

Hirotaka Tobimatsu's works illuminate everyday life and create new value. Experience their charm at the nokaze store and incorporate them into your own space.
