Atelier PEKA

"I try to create works that express the unique texture and beauty of metal.
I also find the way the texture of metal changes over time to be an appealing feature. For this reason, I create products with a timeless design in mind, with the aim of allowing customers to continue using them for a long time.

Mika Yokozawa of atelier PEKA is a metalwork artist based in Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture, who mainly creates tableware and accessories.

These adorable cutlery pieces not only have the stylishness of metalwork, but also the softness that is unique to Yokozawa's work.

The cute, plump shape, the gentle shine of brass, and the soft glow of the silver coating will bring you a moment of gentle relaxation.

Each piece is hammered by hand with a wooden or metal mallet, resulting in a unique hammered pattern not found in mass-produced products.

The more brass is used, the more the surface oxidizes and the texture changes.
Enjoy watching the expression change to your own unique look.
