New Light Pottery retails designer Hiroyuki Nagatomi's work, serving as both a showroom and a studio space. The newest location, in Nara, Japan features a design that seamlessly blends modern and vintage aesthetics to better embody the brand's ethos.
The store sits on a rare patch of land that's largely isolated from the bustle of the city. The building's exterior is unassuming with tradition design cues, however the interior features a unique blend of contemporary minimalism that leaves one feeling at ease. Bright lights, a minimalist colorway that favors white, and exposed wooden beams elicit a sense of comfort and elegance.
Complete with offices, a studio space, meeting rooms and more, the New Light Pottery space serves as a gorgeous new addition to the brand.
