Coastalica

In Gangneung, a pottery studio and brunch café that shapes and fires clay with the waves nearby. It sells tableware shaped by hand one piece at a time in forms inspired by the sea, and also runs ceramics classes where you touch clay and finish a dish yourself. The wish to serve a healthy meal on dishes shaped and fired slowly runs through the whole brand, and continues into brunch dishes you can actually enjoy served on those very dishes. A place where the cycle of making, eating, and serving again feels natural. • Focus Item — Maldives plate. A pattern hand-painted by layering two glazes makes each dish a slightly different face.
