Raku-yaki, also known as Raku pottery, is an ancient utilitarian ceramic technique of oriental origin. Although it is believed to have originated in Korea, it was in Japan that it developed and gained great interest.
From the 16th century onwards, Raku attracted tea masters, influenced by Zen Buddhist philosophy, who found great pleasure in working with this clay. During the tea ceremony, the participants used to drink from pots they had made themselves.
The Raku technique involves firing at a low temperature, about 1,000 degrees Celsius, in a special kiln. The pieces are removed from the kiln when the glaze has melted and placed in a vessel filled with organic matter.
This creates an atmosphere with little oxygen, known as a reducing atmosphere. This process produces a physico-chemical transformation that gives rise to metallic effects, pearlescent surfaces and surprising changes in the colour of the ceramic pieces.
Every item LA Studio offers is checked by our team of 10 craftsmen in our in-house workshop. Special restoration or reupholstery requests can be done. Lighting can be electrified to the required voltage.
