The Porcelain
The inspiration of Piacevole e autumn/winter collection of 2024 initially came from several colored glass porcelaine by Japanese artist Shun Kumagai. Stone green and light sea blue complement each other, all reflecting the beauty of Chinese rock colors. The maturity of Japanese porcelain culture was developed through marriage after the introduction of Chinese blue and white porcelain to Japan in 1624; The prosperity of Chinese porcelain can be traced back to the early implementation of the policy of "抑武修文”(emphasizing literature and suppressing military power) during the Northern Song Dynasty. As a result, literati emerged, the cultural quality of the masses improved entertwined with economic prosperity provided material guarantees for the production of high-level porcelain.
This social atmosphere led to a beautiful artistic style of Song porcelain, which is still influential to the world nowadays. ShunKumagai's works reflect the subtlety of Chinese porcelain as the core, combining the Japanese style restoration technique of Kintsugi as the form, and the modern watercolor painting of rouge color as the embodiment, which is a perfect combination of ancient, modern, and foreign cultural arts. The designer of Piacevole e integrates this historical and artistic philosophy experience into the works of this season's collection. You can almost travel back in history with the prints, the colors and the spirit.
