STARGAZER CANDLE HOLDER
THREE AS ONE BOX
In November 2017, Lara Bohinc carried out a two week artist residency in Wajima, Japan, known as the manufacturing heart of Urushi, the centuries old Japanese lacquer technique. Lara has created two designs for boxes made in Katsura tree wood and covered with cotton fabric, upon which multiple layers of urushi lacquer (deriving from the sap of the lacquer tree) are applied. The traditional red and black lacquer colours are replaced with new pastel shades, developed especially by craftsman Master Nakakado, with whom Bohinc has worked closely on this project. The process requires time and patience, as each box is constructed entirely by hand and has up to thirty layers of lacquer, all applied manually.
