Native & Co is a new independent London lifestyle shop specialising in Japanese and Taiwanese homewares. Founded by two product designers, Taiwan born Sharon Jo-Yun Hung and British-Japanese Chris Yoshiro Green, the shop specialises in craft based home products that are predominantly sourced locally in Japan and Taiwan. Located in Notting Hill, its founders work with small suppliers, specialist workshops and local craftsmen to seek out simple pieces of a discrete nature, with subtle details. The carefully edited collections span Dining & Kitchen, Household, Cushions & Throws and Bags & Accessories. With a background in product design, its founders naturally wanted to personally create every aspect of the shop, from the graphic design and photography to the shop interior and furniture, the latter of which Chris crafted himself. One of the newest product ranges to join the collection is the Arita Porcelain Collection, which includes pioneer Japanese kitchen tools such as a sesame mortar with pestle and lid, a ginger grater, a lemon squeezer, a ladle stand and multi-functional canisters. The collection also includes tableware such as ceramic tea cups and rice bowls and plates of various sizes adorned with traditional Japanese navy and white pattern motifs. The range, which comes from the birthplace of Japanese porcelain, the Arita region in Japan, combines 400-year-old porcelain techniques with a contemporary design suited for everyday life.
