“We have found ourselves longing to return to nature and sooner or later, we believe we will. But what will nature look like in the future?”
Ai Kurahashi and Kiyomi Kodama are a ceramicist duo from Japan.
Ai Kurahashi – born in Japan, 1976. Ai graduated from Nihon University’s College of Art with a degree in architecture in 2000. She had countless part time jobs at bars, boutiques, interior design offices, factories, warehouses, publishers, fashion brands – as a graphic designer, interior designer, interior stylist, editor, writer, or just a worker before focusing fulltime on ON ZA LINE with Kiyomi in 2005.
Kiyomi Kodama – born in Japan, 1976. Kiyomi studied ceramics at the Jyoshibi University of Art and Design. After graduation, Kodoma worked for four years designing ceramics for a Japanese design firm. In 2003, she started collaborating with Ai while still at the firm, and in 2005, quit her job to make ON ZA LINE her full time focus.
“We never know what will come out of the partnership between the medium and our creative processes. We could find ourselves with rings, necklaces, cups, or chandeliers. Some are born without a definition of what they ought to be.”
