Takaoka-born brand, Futagami has been creating contemporary brass livingware since 1897. The Japanese foundry melts solid brass into liquid to form tactile objects, from Buddhist altar equipment to chopstick rests. Sand-casted moulds and a crude-cast finish define Futagami’s unparalleled aesthetic, which is renowned for its rich patina that develops over time due to the brass oxidation process.
