Raina Lee and Mark Watanabe's Project is Playful and Quaint
Kalin Ned — October 30, 2019 — Art & Design
Pottery showrooms don't get more creative than this one. Curated by ceramic artist Raina Lee and her partner, architect Mark Watanabe, the structure is part of their residential property in Los Angeles. Spanning a total of 68 square feet, the shed is situated among the trees, making for a quaint and playful atmosphere.
While prior, the couple has utilized this secluded space for yoga or afternoon tea, it becomes increasingly obvious that the space could have other purposes. Most of the one-room cabin is crafted out of wood, including the interior shelves, which are made with locally reclaimed materials.
The pottery showroom definitely invites a unique experience for those surveying the work, with an aura of authenticity coming from its unusual setting.
