We’ve never properly introduced Mugen - our quieter counterpart to the rhythm of Un. In the studio, our days move with a certain energy - clay turning on the wheel, wood being shaped by hand, dust settling into sunlight. There’s a quiet beauty in the labour, but also restlessness - a constant movement between creation and completion. Mugen (無間) came from the spaces in between. Between what is made, and what is felt. Between the noise of work, and the silence that follows. We wanted a space that reflects that stillness - a slower, more contemplative side of our practice. Here, we gather works from makers we deeply admire - people who carry the quiet discipline of craft, whose works are marked by time, care, and imperfection that endures. Mugen is not about collecting things. It’s about collecting moments - a cup that fits the hand just right, a vessel that holds the trace of its maker, a piece of furniture that settles naturally into its space. To us, these are not just objects - they are small reminders of how to live: with patience, with continuity, with respect for what came before. 無間 means “without gap” - an endless thread between the old and the new, between the maker and the user, between movement and stillness. It also represents our yearn to be more than a single object - perhaps a space or experience. This is what we hope Mugen can be: a quiet bridge - carrying the sensibilities of traditional craft into the world we live in today. It’s still early, and much remains to be shaped. But as always, we build it the only way we know how - step by step, piece by piece. You’ll find Un Studio & Mugen at @boutiquefairssg (21–23 Nov, F1 Pit Building) and over at @mugen.objects where we’ll continue to share stories, makers, and objects that remind us to breathe a little slower.

Where Things Live 器之所在 with Ken Lu Spent some time with Ken in his studio last week. He moves between pieces really quickly, stacking, unstacking, picking things up and passing them over. He talks about them very casually, many times with a wide smile on his face but you can tell he knows exactly what he’s doing. Some sneaks of what’s coming, the colourful polka dots, a black and white series, and a small batch of woodfired pieces. Next week, you will be able to experience using them while trying our special menu of cold brew tea and snacks at @inner.teahouse , and available for purchase for you to bring home a little piece of his practise. — 1 to 3 May 2026 Artisan Solo Showcase at @inner.teahouse 87B Keong Saik Road, Level 3 Day 1 (1 May) 10am to 9pm Artist in Attendance (RSVP fully booked): 10am to 11am Day 2 and 3 (2 to 3 May) 11am to 7pm

A special thank you to @un____studio and @kenlu999 for bringing these beautiful pieces into our teahouse. Good objects have a quiet way of bringing joy. Playful dots of color scatter across each surface, like small moments of light in everyday life. Each piece carries its own sense of warmth and happiness. Inspired by this gentle joy, we’ve created a May Special Menu. Three tea creations and three tiramisu flavors — each can be enjoyed on its own, or paired freely based on your mood. A small way to share this sense of happiness with you. — 🔴 Red dot 01 Drink: Apple Da Hong Pao (大红袍) Dessert: Raspberry Tiramisu Balls 🔵 Blue dot 02 Drink: Coconut Cold Brew Zhangping Shui Xian (漳平水仙) with Milk Foam Dessert: Cocoa Tiramisu Balls 🟢 Green dot 03 Drink: Preserved Plum Roasted Tie Guan Yin (铁观音) Dessert: Matcha Tiramisu Balls — We are also introducing a new oolong — Zhangping Shui Xian (漳平水仙), available in-store from 1 May. — Come by to explore the pieces, and perhaps find the color that speaks to you today. 1–3 May 2026 No reservations (except Artist Talk on 1 May, 10–11am).

器之所在 - Where Things Live with Ken Lu We started out wanting to film process. But as we spent time in Ken’s studio, it felt like that wasn’t quite the point. It was more about how he works day to day, the pace, the repetition, the small habits that shape the things he makes. So this became less about documenting how something is made, and more about getting to know the maker behind them. Because when you bring something home, a bowl or a cup, it doesn’t stay as just an object. Over time, it carries a bit of the makers too. And this is what we hope to bring into the space at @inner.teahouse a chance to spend time with the works and the maker behind them.

Where Things Live 器之所在 An Artisan Feature Series We’re quietly beginning something new. Where Things Live is shaped around a simple thought, that objects are not meant to sit still, but to be held, used, and lived with. Over time, they gather meaning through the rhythms of everyday life. A cup lifted each morning, a plate passed across the table, a moment shared and remembered. For our first chapter, we are honoured to present works by @kenlu999 Rather than placing these pieces on pedestals, we wanted to return them to a space that feels closer to home. A place where they can be seen as they are meant to be. In use, in context, in quiet conversation with the people around them. This is also why we’re grateful to be working alongside @inner.teahouse Their space carries a certain stillness and warmth, one that mirrors the way we hope these works will be experienced, slowly, intimately, and without rush. Jane of @inner.teahouse will be curating a small menu of tea and snacks created in dialogue with the wares themselves for the show. More on this soon. - 1 - 3 May 2026 Inner Tea House 87B Keong Saik Road, Level 3 Day 1 (1 May) 10am to 9pm Artist in Attendance (RSVP): 10am to 11am RSVP details will be shared over the weekend. Day 2 & 3 (2–3 May) 11am to 7pm You’re welcome to walk in and spend some time with the works throughout the rest of the show.

White tulip tea cups for small blooms in every pour. available on our store

somewhere between charm and companion. these small cats from @two.potters are shaped and painted by hand, each carrying a quiet wish - happiness, fortune, or simply a life without worries. the red seals on their bellies read small blessings such as 無憂 (no worries) and 幸福 (happiness), little hopes carried quietly with them. they appear from time to time among the couple’s vessels and tableware - playful reminders that the kiln sometimes brings out small surprises too. little companions, shaped slowly from clay by hands that shape both clay and a life together. available on our store mugen-objects.com

Teawares layered with slip - pushed, and brushed to build a quiet depth. Smoked whites and blacks drift across the surface, settling into the clay before a soft line of gold catches the light. They sit in that calm tension she’s known for: refined, but a little wild; cool in palette, but unexpectedly warm. The kind of wares that sit beautifully beside you for tea - and the kind of teawares that make you want to pour a cup and stay just a little longer. available in limited quantities online

a restock of some coasters and placemats we had during our last holiday sale in december. the long wait to persimmon season in the summer calls for a calm break with indigo. small pieces, still full of rhythm and craft. available on our online store, in limited quantities

some days call for goblets of fire, some days pops of colour only a select few pieces by @cherlynmark available on our store

Light, liquid and time shaped by slow pours. Select few glass pourers crafted carefully by Masutani May, in Toyama, Japan available on our store

Shaped by chef-maker Watanabe Yasuhiro, the chotto nagai renge begins with a form many of us grew up with - the familiar Asian spoon - then lengthens it just enough to feel new in the hand. Balanced and refined, it’s made for tasting broth as you cook, checking seasoning, reaching into deeper pots, and lifting soft dishes without breaking them. A familiar silhouette, elevated by a chef’s quiet understanding of everyday use.
