The “moments” of tea can become more valuable – with a teapot.

It blends in well with everyday background, yet catches your eyes at certain points of time and invites you to appreciate every precious moment of tea.

<Product Vision>

Today, efficiency is a priority, and multitasking has become the norm in our work and lifestyle. Making and drinking tea can be part of a special ceremony or a mundane activity. MOMENT is a teapot that aims to make a teatime that fits neither of these moments. It is designed to make people consciously choose to pause and enjoy the moment of making and drinking tea.

**This tea pot…

- Makes an ordinary cup of tea a little more special by visualising the beauty of tea making.

- Allows you to focus on the pure joy of tea without distraction.

- Gives you a time to relax by separating the moment of tea from other daily routines.

- It leads you to a deeper experience of tea making and drinking.

<Design Element 1: Asian Tradition>

The teapot is shaped like a flattened classical jar, inspired by traditional Asian ceramics. The uniquely curved handle recalls a traditional Japanese pattern of flowing water. Tradition is skilfully incorporated into the design, evoking deep emotions in people’s hearts.

<Design Element 2: Ergonomic Design>

MOMENT has structure that reduces the load by focusing on the moment of inertia. This teapot can reduce the load on the wrist by more than 30% compared to a teapot of the same capacity with a standard handle. Teapots with such handles are difficult to produce with ordinary ceramics, but the firing technique of Bone China has made it possible.

Asian traditions, ergonomics, and materials – all play an essential role in the distinctive beauty of the MOMENT teapot.

Primadonna is a fine dinnerware collection that is reminiscent of a diva’s dress. The graceful shape is inspired by chrysanthemum flowers, and the elegant pattern features shiny gold with lapis blue accents to enhance its luxurious feel. Made from bone china and manufactured in Narumi's mother plant located in Ise-Shima National Park, Japan, the collection exudes engaging glamour and elegance that would complement a sophisticated dining setting.

<Functionality and aesthetics>

The shape, inspired by the Chrysanthemum flower, is one of Narumi’s best sellers that has been in the market for over 50 years. It is a practical coupe plate that ensures a wide plating area to serve food. At the same time, the edge of each item has a gently wavy line that gives a graceful, rather than a casual, impression. Being both practical and elegant is the distinctive characteristic of the shape.

<Design and storytelling>

The pattern inspiration comes from a diva on stage. As the orchestra plays a prelude, the singer appears on the stage with her glamourous dress. The embroidery on her dress shines in the spotlight and the lapis blue jewelry swings around her neck as she sings… It is the perfect dinnerware for luxurious dining where diners indulge themselves with excellent cuisine and beautiful background music.

The concept of Ramage (pronunciation: RAM-aj) was inspired by a Narumi designer’s experience of Chinese and other East Asian gardens, as well as dreams of imaginary gardens in fictional nations. It features whimsical flowers designed in the image of chrysanthemums and peonies, which are native to China and popular in neighboring Asian countries as well as Europe. Birds, said to bring happiness, and butterflies, representing new encounters, are depicted against a refreshing blue background, resulting in a poetic, artistic, and optimistic collection that has been designed to suit various cuisines nurtured by the richness of Asian food culture.

The Matte & Shiny collection is specially designed for a chef’s signature dishes. Exquisitely balanced forms, delicate relief, and a combination of matte and bright glazes provide the ideal canvas for the art of plating.

(Special Features of Matte & Shiny)

• Uniquely beautiful form

An exquisitely balanced form and delicate relief provide the ideal canvas for the art of plating, maximizing the charm and beauty of the food.
