VISVIM GENERAL STORE / VISVIM GALLERY

2022.10.25

VISVIM GENERAL STORE / VISVIM GALLERY, visvim's newest store which opened in the Naka-Meguro area of Tokyo, in July 2022, is filled with the work of various artisans who have dedicated their lives to their craft-beginning with the Japanese garden, the tin pedestals and countertop, along with the stencil-dyed (katazurizome) fusuma sliding screens. A follow up to his work at WMV VISVIM TOKYO, Hiroki Nakamura was responsible for the design direction of the new store. We hope you'll come visit the store to witness and experience the incredible handiwork of these master craftspeople to better understand its profound charm, which is something that is in alignment with the philosophy towards product creation that we try and uphold at visvim.

The Kutani Kosen pottery kiln in Kanazawa, where the tradition of Kutani ware continues to be preserved today. All of the drippers, cups, and saucers found at little cloud coffee have been manufactured using the Kutani Kosen porcelain kiln, which was established in 1870 (3rd year of the Meiji Era).

I love coffee. I drink coffee every day. Everywhere I go - New York, LA, Paris - I've got my favorite coffee shop, and I just wanted to make something that I'd like to drink on a daily basis.
