Yoshinori Nagashima Brass Plate M
Pair Well With
Description
A forged brass plate by metal artist Yoshinori Nagashima, treated with an aging process that brings out the warm, antiqued patina brass would otherwise take years to develop. Brass continues to shift in tone over time with use and air exposure, and contact with acidic foods may cause some lightening in color, both part of how the material is meant to live and change. The piece is safe for everyday use; to preserve the finish, avoid leaving it wet for long periods or cleaning it with a harsh sponge or cleanser.
Note: each piece is hand-forged, so the texture and surface marks left from hammering are part of the piece, not a flaw.

About Yoshinori Nagashima
Yoshinori Nagashima is a metal artist working from his studio in Akishima, on the western edge of Tokyo, where he forges plates, trays, and cutlery by hand. He trained in craft at Tama Art University before completing graduate studies at Tokyo University of the Arts. Working across aluminum, brass, and stainless steel, he moves each piece through a sequence of largely manual techniques: cutting, hammering, forging, welding, brazing, and polishing, with the exact combination shifting depending on the form and material.
Rather than polishing his pieces to a uniform shine, Nagashima leaves the marks of the process in the metal: the dents and scratches of hammering and forging, set deliberately into the surface to give each piece a worn, time-touched character from the start. The result is tableware that looks collected rather than manufactured, with an antique sensibility that appeals to anyone drawn to objects with a sense of history and personality.
