THE SCULPTURAL NARRATIVE
This is a one-of-a-kind ceramic platter by artist Makoto Kagoshima, available exclusively through Chariots on Fire. Carried by exceptional editorial provenance, this rare individual piece was featured in Architectural Digest.
Pastels Bouquet on Black uses its elegant oval format and soft pastel floral forms set against a deep black ground to create a bold, modern composition with refined graphic presence—offering an expressive statement atop a credenza or as a focal piece on a gallery wall.
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.
