Takeyoshi Mitsui
The breakthrough moment for glass artist, Takeyoshi Mitsui, came after the creation of his "Silence" series. A collection of hand-blown drinking glasses, the designs were a representation of the colour-blind artist's interpretation of colour. His unique study, amalgamated with his technical ability, precise craftsmanship and desire to give the glasses a softer appearance, created an ethos uniquely his own and has informed his work in artisan glassware since.
