HOT ! Tumbler | ORI-EN

Beyond the impossible — the ORI-EN series.ARTISAN spent two years pursuing colours once considered unattainable on stainless steel. In traditional Takaoka metalcraft, “colouring through corrosion”—immersing copper or brass in special solutions to oxidise and create colour—doesn’t apply to stainless steel because it resists corrosion.

Through the fusion of Tsubame’s stainless-steel technology and Takaoka’s patination techniques, and after countless prototypes and failures, ARTISAN developed a groundbreaking method to realise beautiful, natural colour on stainless steel.

This achievement embodies Japanese craftsmanship that unites tradition and innovation—a transformation of the impossible into reality. The technology continues to evolve, breathing new life into metal art. Each ORI-EN tumbler is a crystallisation of beauty and persistence, reflecting the unyielding curiosity of Japan’s engineers and artisans. The light that radiates from its finely crafted surface is not merely reflection—it is the glow of modern craftsmanship rooted in tradition.
