Yoshinori Nagashima 永島義教

New In: Yoshinori Nagashima, Forged Metal Tableware

Yoshinori Nagashima is a metal artist working from his studio in Akishima, on the western edge of Tokyo. Working across aluminum and brass, he moves each piece through cutting, hammering, forging, welding, brazing, and polishing, the exact sequence shifting with the form and material. Every dent and scratch from the hammer is left to stay, so each piece carries the look of something already lived with, even before it reaches the table.

The collection brings together his signature plates and trays alongside his coffee scoop. The aluminum oval plates and rim plate hold a brushed, pewter-like quiet, while the brass plates, oval tray, and coffee scoop deepen into a darker, antiqued warmth that only grows richer with handling. Each piece arrives in a small, limited batch from Nagashima's studio.
