Yuko Nishikawa

Yuko Nishikawa is a Brooklyn-based Japanese designer/contemporary ceramicist specializing in fantastical lighting, whimsical decor accessories, and collectible objet d'art.

"Piku piku" is a Japanese onomatopoeia that describes involuntary movements caused by unexpected contact. I want my work to make you feel piku piku, tickling something deep down inside you. “

Yuko’s Squish has been featured in both the Summer Tea 2020 and Summer Tea 2021. It is a collection of handmade snuggling teacups and flower vases that are formed by gently squishing them against one another when the clay is still soft.
