The Timeless Appeal of Yoko Yamano's Glass Tableware at Margaret Howell

The Timeless Appeal of Yoko Yamano's Glass Tableware

In 2012, a moment of serendipity marked the beginning of a beautiful collaboration. Staff from Margaret Howell in the UK were captivated by Yoko Yamano’s drinking glasses. Their admiration led to a fruitful exchange, and by the following year, her exquisite creations were available at the Wigmore store in England. This partnership represents a meeting of minds, where simplicity and functionality reign supreme.

Margaret Howell herself has expressed admiration for Yamano's work, noting, "I have always been drawn to items that prioritize simplicity and functionality. Yoko Yamano’s glass pieces embody these values beautifully. There is a quiet elegance in her work, stemming from a deep understanding of the materials she uses."

Yoko Andersson Yamano elaborates on her craft with a philosophy that connects her glass designs to clothing. She emphasizes that both clothing and glassware could enhance the richness of one’s life. "I believe that having a beautiful object in your environment should make your life richer. I strive to leave some blank spaces in my creations, allowing users to appreciate their individuality and use the objects freely without my designs overshadowing them."

In celebration of the launch of this stunning glass tableware collection, a photography exhibition titled "GLASS TABLEWARE BY YOKO ANDERSSON YAMANO" will be held at several Margaret Howell locations. The exhibitions will feature the impressive works of Michihiro Matsumoto, spreading the allure of Yamano's artistry to a wider audience.

2. Margaret Howell Shop & Cafe Tenjin: July 5 (Sat) – July 21 (Mon, national holiday)
