Coating Studio FUJII

Lacquered glass shikki (dishwasher safe)

GLASS JAPAN was born from the fusion of traditional techniques from Kuroe, “the town of lacquerware,” and new ideas. The owner traveled alone around the Middle East, the US, and Europe to learn more about lacquerware techniques and family lacquerware business, which is his own family’s business. Driven by his enthusiasm to expand the lacquering technique to the field of interior design, he started “Coating Studio FUJII” in 2001. He successfully developed a technique to combine lacquer and glass, and now oversees the whole process from design to production.
