At the heart of the event ADORNO presents a landmark collection of contemporary ceremonial vessels commissioned by 18 progressive ceramicists, reinterpreting the traditional Chawan through their distinctive material practices.

These limited-edition works—each produced in a series of ten—transcend functionality to become contemplative objects that challenge our perception of ritual implements. The selected ceramicists and glass designers have approached the brief with remarkable restraint, creating pieces that articulate the tensions between tradition and innovation, form and function, presence and absence.

Available exclusively at the SILENCE PLEASE gallery and online at ADORNO, this collection represents a significant contribution to the discourse on contemporary craft, offering a thoughtful examination of how ceremonial objects can embody cultural meaning while advancing material experimentation and artistic vision.​​​​​​​​​​​
