Talk about a double feature: Hasami Plates and Bowls can be used independently or together to create a stackable, lidded bowl. It’s an easy, space-saving solution that’s beautiful enough to store on view in a cabinet or on a shelf.

For almost 400 years, Japanese artisans in the Hasami district have been making pottery such as this — simple, unadorned and made from natural Amakusa pottery stones mixed with potter’s clay. A true cultural and design legacy.

Who says storage can’t be stylish? In fact, practicality and usability are driving forces behind the modern design movement, so the very necessity of storage makes it emblematic of what our standby aesthetic philosophy is all about. That’s probably why we so adore this thoughtfully curated collection of attractive-home-goods-with-a-purpose. From baskets to bins, containers to canisters, tubs and boxes to gorgeous shelving galore, we’ve got you covered when it comes to storing your things without forfeiting standout design.
