Sacai Chocolate Cup - Golden Handle

The collaboration between Astier de Villatte and Sacai blends two distinct artistic visions through a shared sensibility. Inspired by Sacai founder Chitose Abe's frequent visits to Astier de Villatte’s Paris boutique, the partnership began in 2017 as a long-term artistic project rather than a simple capsule collection. Each year, a unique piece is introduced, starting with a two-handled mug in 2017.

This slow-evolving collection emphasizes deconstruction, hybridization, and artisanal craftsmanship. Abe’s exploration of unconventional shapes at Sacai inspires reimagined ceramics by Astier de Villatte. A standout feature is the use of the kintsugi technique, a Japanese art of repairing with gold, as seen in a 2023 plate with golden joints symbolizing restoration.
