Heibei — 平と米の制作所＝平米

Heibei is an Okinawa-based woodworking partnership formed by 平安山なほみ and 米須美紀.
The name combines the first characters of their surnames.
They make furniture and tableware with the idea of creating useful, beautiful objects to live with for many years.
Working mainly with wood from Okinawa, they carve each piece by hand, giving every vessel a different expression.
Even looking at the variations is part of the pleasure.

Yachimun collection
This collection translates the painted patterns of Okinawan yachimun pottery onto wood.
Each piece is painted individually, with a warmth that comes from the classic colors and motifs.

Rouhou collection
A collection inspired by enamel tableware.
The rounded rim is carefully shaped, and the paint allows the wood grain to remain visible. Different grain patterns give every piece its own appearance.

ANFORA

Founded in Mexico in 1920, ANFORA makes tableware in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes, suited to everything from colorful main dishes to bread and desserts.

Puebla collection
This signature ANFORA collection features hand-painted patterns with a distinctly Mexican character.
Bird motifs give each piece a lively, individual expression.
