The CAST series began from a design commission that requested for a glass series, that would launch as a modern design from Japan into the world market. This series was requested to replace Wilhelm Wagenfeld’s Jenaer Glas series, which has been discontinued in Japan due to inevitable circumstances. Similar to Jenaer’s, the material of the product is Pyrex glass, and the bottom is tempered for easy handling. The glass is designed to be convenient to drink from; it is made to be smooth to the touch, and its edges are inclined. These inclined edges have become the major element of the design in the CAST series. The idea of the inclined edges serving both function and form of the design is considered to be influenced by Bauhaus’s ideas. Today, the CAST series, with its origins from Germany, is currently selling in more than 20 countries worldwide.

Shirotani Kosei: A Harmonious Blend of Architecture, Craft, and Japanese Philosophy

Born in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1968, Shirotani Kosei’s artistic journey is a fascinating convergence of architectural design, traditional craftsmanship, and a deeply rooted philosophy he terms “progettazione.” This approach, emerging from the post-war Italian design landscape, emphasizes an intuitive understanding of human interaction with objects – creating pieces that seamlessly integrate into daily life, fostering a sense of comfort and understated elegance. His work isn’t merely about aesthetics; it's about cultivating a space for mindful engagement.

Early Influences and Milanese Years

Kosei Shirotani initially honed his skills in architectural and design offices within the vibrant hub of Milan, Italy, from 1991 to 2002. This period proved pivotal, exposing him to the principles of Italian design – a focus on functionality, proportion, and an appreciation for tactile materials. The influence of this era is evident in his later work, particularly in the meticulous attention to detail and the pursuit of harmonious balance between form and function. He spent time as an editorial support member from 1996 to 2005 for ABITARE, a prestigious architectural magazine, further immersing himself in the world of design and its impact on everyday life.

The Return to Japan and the Philosophy of Progettazione

Returning to his homeland in 2002, Shirotani established Studio Shirotani in Unzen-Shi, Nagasaki. This marked a deliberate shift towards integrating Japanese aesthetics and craftsmanship with his acquired knowledge. The core of his design philosophy, “progettazione,” is fundamentally about creating objects that are intuitive and responsive to human needs – an approach that prioritizes the experience of use over rigid adherence to form. He sought to capture something intangible, often referred to as a ‘spirit,’ that draws people to objects through skillful handiwork and carefully considered proportions. This philosophy extends beyond mere design; it’s about fostering a connection between the maker, the object, and the user.

Notable Works and Recognition

Shirotani's work has garnered significant recognition within both Japan and internationally. His “CAST” collection, particularly the glassware – notably "Glassware for Ease and Grace of Movement - CAST" – exemplifies this philosophy. The design deliberately incorporates a slight outward curve to the rim, ensuring a smooth flow of liquids during drinking or pouring. Similarly, his handles are meticulously shaped to minimize strain on the hand. Beyond glassware, he’s explored cast sculptures, demonstrating a mastery of material and form. His pieces have been exhibited at prestigious venues such as the National Crafts Museum in Japan and the 2019 Gwangju Design Biennale Gallery4, solidifying his position as a leading contemporary craft designer. He has also served as a guest lecturer at institutions like Saga University and Fukuoka Design School.

Legacy and Continuing Influence

Shirotani Kosei’s impact extends beyond the individual pieces he creates. His work embodies a quiet elegance, reflecting a deep respect for tradition while simultaneously embracing innovation. His Instagram account, with over 266 followers as of February 2024, offers a glimpse into his ongoing creative process and dedication to his philosophy. Sadly, Shirotani passed away in December 2020, leaving behind a legacy of thoughtful design and a profound appreciation for the human experience. His work continues to be exhibited and studied, ensuring that his unique vision endures.
