Tomaya Objects is an ongoing catalogue of our own designs, pieces created independently from studio work, exploring form, material, and function. Each object reflects our perspective on everyday design, crafted with intention and built to last.

An Ode to Contemporary Craftsmanship

                Univase is an exploration of the delicate balance between the abstract and the familiar, unveiling a well-known object’s pure essence to resonate with profound memories; deliberate iterations remove elements to reveal essential lines that echo its original vase form, transcending its physical presence to become a tool of tangible and intangible beauty that prompts reflection on abstraction’s transformative nature; crafted from the finest materials, its smooth, curvaceous form captures the eye with a fluid continuity suggestive of infinity and the cyclical nature of life, a triumph of minimalism that celebrates intentional simplicity and the extraordinary within the ordinary.

The Bend Chair

              The Bend Chair: Simplicity and Unity. Crafted from a single piece of Steel, this design celebrates the beauty of letting the material and the function shape the form. The mono-material approach allows for a more harmonious and cohesive structure that resonates with the essence of the materials and technology used. The chair is a testament to the philosophy that form should follow function, and does so with a bold aesthetic. Crafted from high-grade steel, this chair is a paragon of industrial design, merging durability with a sleek profile.
         Its silhouette is characterized by fluid lines that create an impression of movement, as if the chair is in a state of bending, which lends the piece its name. The vibrant orange variant offers a pop of colour, transforming any space with its bright and inviting hue, while the deep green option brings a touch of sophistication and earthiness, resonating with more understated interiors.
          The chair’s armrests curve gently, complementing the human-form, ensuring comfort without compromising on style. This ergonomic consideration extends to the backrest, which supports a natural sitting position, making the Bend Chair ideal for short- term seating and extended periods of use.
          Precision is evident in every aspect of the chair’s design, from the uniformity of the steel’s thickness to the seamless joints which suggest a continuous piece rather than an assembly of parts. This highlights the craftsmanship behind the Bend chair, where expertise in metalwork is paramount. The matte finish on the steel surface not only enhances its visual appeal but also serves a practical purpose, minimizing the appearance of fingerprints and smudges, maintaining its pristine look without the need for a large amount of upkeep.
          Every angle offers a new detail, a testament to the chair’s considered design. It’s not just a chair; it’s a statement piece that speaks to an appreciation of modernist design principles, where every element serves a purpose. The Bend Chair is more than just a seating option — it’s a celebration of the harmony between industrial strength and refined elegance, making it a excellent addition to minimalist and contemporary spaces and environments.
          This object is a perfect fit for design - conscious environments, from sleek offices to modern homes, where it can stand alone as a sculptural element or it can be integrated into a cohesive arrangement of style and comfort. The Bend Chair is a symbol of how everyday objects can transcend their functionality to become works of art in their own right.

The Daejo Stool

          The Daejo stool series embodies the timeless beauty of simple objects with honest intentions, bringing organic warmth and simplicity to any space. Available in three variations, each stool is a testament to the versatility of natural materials and the skilled craftsmanship required to harness it. Each Daejo stool stands as a celebration of the material from which it is carved. The wood varations, renowned for its durability and fine grains, lends itself beautifully to the creation of furniture that is not only strong but also has a naturally inviting texture. The grain patterns on each seat are like fingerprints — unique to each piece, telling a story of the wood’s journey from forest to workshop.

Visune - Tomaya tea set closeup.jpg

          The Tomaya Tea Set is a fine example of contemporary ceramic artistry that marries the traditional ritual of tea drinking with modern design. Crafted from premium ceramic, each piece in this set showcases a smooth, matte finish that pleases the senses, both visually and to the touch.
          The set consists of a teapot and cups that have been designed with an eye for graceful silhouettes and ergonomic function. The teapot, with its elongated body and curved spout, offers a modern twist on the classic teapot shape, resulting in a profile that is both striking and elegant. Its form is not just about aesthetics; the design ensures a drip-free pour, a testament to the thoughtful consideration of usability in its creation. The handle is positioned and shaped for a comfortable grip, balancing the weight of the teapot whether full or empty, exemplifying the set’s user-centric design.
          The cups, with their rounded bodies and subtle lip, are a delight to hold and sip from. Their shape is designed to retain heat, keeping the tea at an optimum temperature while still being comfortable to the touch. The accompanying saucers mirror the gentle curves of the cups and provide stability and elegance to the ensemble.
