Tobe Collective is the brainchild of the project’s creators – TICEP, Tobe International Ceramic Exchange Program – which they’ve been working on since the launch of the project in 2019. In 2023 their works were presented at the London Design Fair with this year’s project theme; beyond perception. 

“Tradition is one of the most important things for Japanese potters. It is a thing we always respect and hold dear, but what makes Tobe Collective unique is how the potters try to “evolve” while still respecting their tradition,” – Mamiko Karasudani
