HANDCRAFTED PORCELAIN SALT CELLARS INSPIRED BY THE DEEP BLUE WATERS OF JEJU ISLAND

About the Project

In anticipation of the long-awaited documentary "The Last of the Sea Women" we collaborated on gifts for entertainment executives and key collaborators involved in the project. The film, directed by Sue Kim, highlights the haenyeo divers of Jeju Island, South Korea—women who have carried on a centuries-old tradition of free diving for seafood. Partnering with activist and Nobel Peace Price laureate Malala Yousafzai's production company, Extracurricular (a partnership with AppleTV+), was a true privilege, as their dedication to working with woman-owned and minority-owned brands aligns deeply with our own values.

For this project, we drew inspiration from the sea and Extracurricular’s signature color palette. We commissioned Miro Chun, a Korean American ceramist, whose work we’ve long admired and collected, to hand craft over 200 white porcelain salt cellars. The interior of each piece was glazed in a deep indigo hue to match our client’s Pantone color while subtly evoking the essence of the sea.

“I fell in love with the story. I fell in love with the bravery and resilience of these incredible sea women who in the ages of, like, 80 and 70 and 90 are still diving into the ocean water... and how they're advocating for the safety of their ocean and how they want to protect it.”
