Materials
Two layers of contrasting coloured lacquer are applied and subsequently sanded back to partially reveal the layers below (Tsugaru-Nuri).
The unique patterns revealed are reminiscent of topographical maps, a neon pattern juxtaposing the beauty of the natural material.
Due to Artek's innovative manufacturing techniques, the fully-manual ColoRing procedure has been transformed into a semi-industrial process, allowing the collection to reach a wider audience.
