A Home for Quiet Memories — Glassnochiu's "Jelly House"

A home is a vessel that holds a family's feelings. It is also the place where life's irreplaceable moments are gathered, one by one.

"Jelly House," by Glassnochiu's Nobuhiko Hoshi, expresses that idea of home in pale, gentle colors and translucent glass.

True to its name, it has the soft glow of jelly. The rounded shape and the way colors dissolve into one another inside quietly loosen something in you as you look at it.

It carries a warmth as if the memories of daily life lived there had each been gently sealed inside. A piece that could also sit quietly beside someone starting a new chapter, as a gift.

Please see it in person when you visit Otaru. Depending on how the light falls, the colors inside the house shift, little by little.
