Ichiro & Sumi

Ivan Colominas

Advant-Garde Tradition

The idealized meeting of east and west has led Colominas to consider a sushi set that embodies Japan’s minimalist aesthetic with attention to detail for even the most mundane object. Making it extremely contemporary through a touch of design application, it’s still a cypher of oriental design.

Shodo

Sushi as a magic formula, sushi as a culinary passion. It is minimalist cooking, almost architectural, which does not compromise in flavour. It is the perfect cuisine for marble. Ivan Colominas has thought of the essential pieces to enjoy a perfect Japanese dinner: two trays, one for serving, the other to contain the food with room for the soya sauce; a bowl for the rice; and finally, the chopstick rests. The collection “SHODO” is inspired by the traditional, Japanese art of calligraphy and its elements, to create a unique sushi set in which the different kinds of marble create a visual play of light and depth.

Ivan Colominas

He studied industrial design at the UCH-CEU in Valencia, where he also attained a Master’s of Transportation Design.

His design research is heavily influenced by XX century iconography: focussed on delivering products that, while belonging to a digital age, convey analogue qualities.
