Shizuku, in Japanese, means "a droplet" (of water).
Born from the observation that rain is calming to the common person, it draws inspiration from the formation of a natural phenomenon.
​
Shizuku is a ritualistic diffuser that encourages a close connection with rain and raw materials to create petrichor, the smell of rain, within the home.
Balancing the proportions between the vessel and the plate, an element of elegance that frames the dialogue between the vessel and the material is created.
When a droplet hits the material beneath, the subtle hint of petrichor is released into the surroundings; creating a sense of calm you might find on a rainy day.
