About

Four centuries of Arita porcelain form an unbroken continuum of making.

2016/ was born not simply to preserve this heritage, but to carry it forward creatively to create tableware that continues to evolve, living and breathing within the everyday life of each generation.
　
Sixteen internationally renowned designers have engaged with the memory embedded in Arita, exploring the techniques and knowledge of its makers to shape a collection in which craft and the contemporary coexist.

Colour, form, texture, ways of use 
more than 500 distinctive pieces invite people to discover their own creativity, and offer the freedom to recompose the everyday.

At first, a piece may feel like something special.
But with every use, it gradually and quietly becomes familiar  to the hand, 
and to the landscape of daily life.

What emerges over time is something more personal:
the relationship between 2016/ and you.
