NUNOGI Three Tier Box €1.467,00

Shinichiro Ogata — Available through The Orb

Designed by OGATA, the NUNOGI three-tier round box is a lacquered wood piece that embraces imperfection as part of its beauty. Originating in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, the work draws attention to an intermediate stage of the traditional lacquer process known as nunogi—where cloth is applied to the wood. Rather than polishing the surface to a high gloss, OGATA intentionally leaves elements of the wood and linen exposed, creating a quiet dialogue between texture, material, and form.

The result is a layered object that feels both raw and refined. Each tier can be used to present sweets for tea ceremonies or arranged together as a stacked box for shared meals. Functional yet deeply expressive, the piece reflects a sensitivity to process, material honesty, and the beauty found in restraint.

Shinichiro Ogata, Reimagining Japanese heritage through contemporary design, architecture, and ritual.

Shinichiro Ogata was born in Nagasaki, on Japan’s west coast. In 1998, he founded his creative studio Simplicity, which became a space to explore a wide range of practices—from restaurants and tea houses to interiors, objects, and custom architecture. Later, he created OGATA, a brand conceived not as a label but as a way to share a way of being—one deeply rooted in Japanese aesthetics, craftsmanship, and ritual, extending across spaces, objects, and lived experiences.

Today, Ogata lives and works between Tokyo and Paris. Across everything he does, he brings a deep respect for natural materials, time, and the quiet intelligence of craft. He doesn’t see himself as a traditional architect, but rather as a cultural translator — someone who carries the spirit and heritage of Japanese making into different contexts, shaping architecture, spaces, and experiences that feel both grounded and timeless.
