New Collection | Yoshimi Suzuki
This month, we will introduce a new artisan arriving at Norm - Yoshimi Suzuki.
Born in Yokohama, Kanagawa, she graduated from the Industrial Design Department at Musashino Art University. Afterwards, she further specialized in glass sculpting.
Yoshimi Suzuki is an expert in using daily life as the inspiration for her creations. She takes the views and feelings of daily life, plus the abstract vibes and colors of moment-to-moment living, as well as the emotions she encounters when handling her art pieces, and applies them when crafting her works.
In her artwork, Yoshimi Suzuki uses glassblowing to shape the glass, followed by a sandblasting technique to make colors and textures on the surface of formed products.
Yoshimi Suzuki's works are perfect for many uses - practical day-to-day living, decoration, and more. Let's find out!
Goblet
Half-transparent glass with a smoky finish; the concept captures the quiet and relaxed feeling at the end of an evening. Glassblowing is used to form the shape, followed by sandblasting to create the texture.

Tsuki no Kimochi
The artisan loves to see the moon in the late evening sky. “When I see the moon, it feels like time is slowing down; everything is very quiet.” This work features a moon-shaped plug on top; as the angle of light changes throughout the day, the colors change and sparkle in the bottle, just like the changing color of the landscape as the moon floats overhead each night.
