Anzu New York

Standard Issue Presents is an ongoing project to showcase the work of friends and colleagues. For our inaugural presentation, we collaborated with Anzu New York to host a pop-up shop featuring the work of master Japanese potter Akio Nukaga. The front of our office—which benefits from abundant natural light year-round—was converted into a storefront for the occasion. Two tables were created by lashing together wood dowels using the traditional Japanese square knot. Indigo fabric partitions, plants, and our own Paperclip lamps combined to create a calm environment for the pottery to be displayed and, ultimately, sold to a steady stream of visitors.
