The meaning of NABe

NABe carries two meanings: NAB from Naomi Ashihara Barrall’s initials, and nabe (鍋), the Japanese word for claypot. It reflects both personal authorship and the warmth of shared meals.

The brand language is intentionally minimal: rounded silhouettes, generous white space, and earthy tones that let the clay be the hero.
