位于伦敦文化区中心的设计展厅克莱肯威尔，展示了位于京都的Sfera品牌在城里的首次亮相，新的作品与他们以前的系列一起展出。

在日本手工制作的京都地区的工匠，由方正Shigeo Mashiro和他的创作团队设计的作品，通过现代设计姿态探索各种日本传统工艺品。

该公司扩大了他们今年早些时候推出的竹制和瓷器组合，将这两种材料(以及玻璃)结合在一起的花瓶集，以一种实用而又富有诗意的表达方式组合在一起。这些收藏是该品牌与Kohchosai Kosuga合作的结果，Kohchosai Kosuga成立于1898年，专门从事竹编。编织篮子与玻璃釉和彩色色边陶瓷的不对称结合，创造了一组创新的物体，精巧地体现了Sfera的工艺。

另一个新的展览是由三种类型的木材制成的椅子——樱桃木、枫木和奎宁——加上各种各样的装饰选择，从传统的织物到黄油软的皮革。
其他家具件包括有纹理的木凳和覆铜的侧面桌子，用翻来覆去的和有纹理的栗色底座完成。

此次展览还庆祝了Sfera和京都县之间早先的合作。这些收藏品一起展出，证明了该公司有能力以当代的方式向日本工艺致敬，也证明了当地的人才能够巧妙地操纵材料，创造出令人陶醉的各种令人向往的物品。

Included in the installation is this series of candle holders created in collaboration with metal artist Chikako Ueda and woodworker Takatsugu Matsumoto. Using the natural grains of local woods (cherry, ash, oak, maple, zelkova and castor aralia) and mixing these with effects of different metals and metal-hammering techniques to create geometric pieces

The Kyoto based brand explores traditional crafts through a modern design gesture. Pictured: the bamboo and porcelain combination which they debuted earlier this year

The collection is the result of a collaboration between the brand and Kohchosai Kosuga who specialise in bamboo weave

The woven baskets are combined with pastel-coloured glazed glass vessels...

...and with asymmetrically shaped porcelain in similar hues

The asymmetric combination of the woven bamboo with the raw edged ceramics in pastel shades creates an innovative group of objects that exquisitely exemplify Sfera’s craftsmanship efforts

All of Sfera's ranges are designed by founder Shigeo Mashiro and his creative team. Pictured: a collection standalone porcelain vases

New furniture pieces include the textured wooden stools and copper-topped side table, finished with a turned and textured chestnut base.

The installlation pays tribute to Japanese craft in a contemporary way, and to the local talent for skilfully manipulating materials. Pictured: another new collection of chairs on show

The chairs were rafted from three types of wood – cherry, maple and quince...

...and combined with a wide range of upholstery options, from traditional fabrics to butter-soft leather

Also on display are Sfera's humorous collection of dog beds, crafted from cherry and beech woods with an optional upholstered cushion for 'canine comfort'

The Sfera exhibition is on show till 21 November. Photography: Dan Weill
