We are thrilled to announce the opening of "Geophytes" by acclaimed Tokyo-based mosaic master, Toyoharu Kii.

A leader in the global craft resurgence, Kii works with hand-cut Italian marble and smalti, Venetian glass handmade by the same Italian family for over 400 years.

A departure from his monochromatic work and just in time for Spring, “Geophytes” introduces color to communicate the transcendence of nature in the face of adversity.

Geophytes are perennial bulbs that reinvent the landscape every Spring. We are thrilled to announce the upcoming opening of "Geophytes" by acclaimed Tokyo-based mosaic master, Toyoharu Kii. Using traditional Italian techniques, Kii’s craft is nonetheless modern.
