Production: Maezawa CraftOur studio is located in Toyama Prefecture, Japan, a city where traditional crafts thrive. We use carefully selected domestic natural wood to deliver unique works that maximize the beauty of the material.NAGOMI plateThe "NAGOMI plate" was born from the desire to "deliver the beauty of Japanese natural wood materials as they are to dining tables around the world." Pursuing an unprecedented, innovative, and modern beauty, we have fused wood with transparent resin. This plate combines high design and practicality.Pursuit of beautiful curvesOvercoming the different properties of wood and resin, we have achieved smooth and precise curves through unique grinding and polishing techniques. The form, where natural wood and transparent resin are integrated, reflects beautifully, creating a high-quality luster.Precautions for product use- Always serve food on the wooden part. Avoid placing food directly on the resin part; use a sheet or a small dish.- Epoxy resin has a heat resistance of approximately 60-80°C, so placing hot cups directly on it may cause discoloration or deformation. Always use a coaster or placemat.- Do not use in microwave ovens or ovens. This may cause breakage or deformation.Washing instructions- Do not use a dishwasher. This may cause breakage.- Since resin is sensitive to high temperatures, do not soak in hot water above 40°C.- Avoid prolonged immersion in water.- Using a hard sponge or brush on the resin part may cause scratches, so use a soft sponge or cloth.- Strong alkaline or acidic detergents may damage the resin surface, so use a neutral detergent.- Do not use solvent-based cleaners such as alcohol or thinner, as they may damage the surface.Storage- Store away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and high humidity. This may cause the wood to warp or crack.If you are concerned about damage during use, minor scratches, or cloudiness, please contact us.
