With its rustic unglazed matte texture and simple yet presentable form MOHEIM's STONEWARE MUG is highly popular.
Based on this texture and design, a collaboration with BLUE BOTTLE COFFEE was launched.

Makiko Busato, Brand & Product Director of BLUE BOTTLE COFFEE, and Shigeichiro Takeuchi, Creative Director of MOHEIM, shared their thoughts on the STONE MUG created in collaboration with MOHEIM.

The rounded shape of YUKI wood fits comfortably in your hand. It was created as part of MOHEIM's lineup when the brand was first launched.
Each cup is meticulously crafted by Yamanaka lacquerware artisans in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. It is light, thin, and smooth because it is made with a technique that is highly regarded as the best in Japan.
Shigeichiro Takeuchi, the designer and the creative director of MOHEIM tells the story behind this cup with its soft and elegant form.

SHOEHORN harmonizes dignified straight lines and soft curves, and has a beautiful appearance.
Vulcanized fiber is used as a material, which is lightweight and softly bendable, yet strong and impact resistant, Our achievements include both its design and superior comfort when putting on shoes.
Designer Shigeichiro Takeuchi tells the story of its development.

“I love these YUKI wood cups because they are the perfect size and design to enjoy tea throughout the day.”
