ORIGAMI’s products are produced in Toki City, located in the Tono region of Gifu Prefecture, which has prospered and developed through the production of Mino ware.
Toki City, Gifu Prefecture, where Mino ware has flourished and developed. Like the depletion of coffee beans, the mines that are the assets of Mino ware are also in a state of depletion.
SDG’S are now being called for as a matter of course, but ORIGAMI, as a “manufacturer” of coffee utensils, will embody a way of dealing with this issue that is only possible for us.
Although the focus tends to be on the “de-plasticization” that can contribute to the reduction of petroleum resource use, we believe that efforts to make ceramics that do not return to the soil (do not decompose naturally) renewable are also an important initiative that can contribute to the “reduction of resource use” that nature produces in finite amounts. We believe that this is also an important initiative that can contribute to “reducing the use of resources” that are limited by nature.
The ReWork dripper has the same shape as the existing ORIGAMI dripper, but there is a major difference in the manufacturing process, which uses recycled porcelain (20%) that is crushed during production.
The 20 ribs (grooves) create a space between the dripper and the paper, allowing the hot water to escape smoothly and enabling a wide variety of brewing. The ORIGAMI Dripper’s simple, lean product design has a “shimmering” appearance that can be felt because it is made from clay mixed with crushed recycled porcelain and fired. The unglazed, matte finish of the clay, which preserves the unique texture of the pottery, gives the product a sophisticated appearance.
