THE SCULPTURAL NARRATIVE
This is a one-of-a-kind ceramic platter by artist Makoto Kagoshima, available exclusively through Chariots on Fire. This rare individual piece carries an exceptional composition celebrating the artist's signature sgraffito line work.
Pastel Florals on Black features delicate pastel floral motifs set against a deep black ground, creating a bold, modern composition with a refined graphic presence. The result is a dreamlike statement for contemporary interiors and a standout piece for the discerning graphic eye.
Across 11 commissioned exhibitions from 2013 to 2021, Chariots on Fire has uniquely presented Kagoshima’s ceramic works. A landmark 2021 exhibition launched the first Makoto Kagoshima × Chariots on Fire × Christopher Farr rug collection—a 1/1 series inspired by and designed to mirror the artist's one-of-a-kind ceramics. That success directly expanded into fine textiles and wallpaper, leading to the next iteration of rugs arriving in 2027: The Make It Your Own Collection.
“What I create for Chariots embodies Los Angeles,” says Kagoshima.
Brought to Los Angeles by the gallerist who discovered his work for his first U.S. exhibition, this piece sits at the very heart of Kagoshima’s origin story with Chariots on Fire.
The Evolution of Form Extending his painterly botanical lines beyond the kiln, our ongoing collaboration with premier rug maker Christopher Farr translates Kagoshima’s signature sgraffito illustrations into large-scale, 1/1 hand-knotted textiles woven from raw Afghan Ghazni wool.
