WASARA IS “DISPOSABLE paper ware for spiritual enrichment.” Made from sugar cane refuse and other low-footprint fibers, these high-concept paper plates and cups meld Japanese aesthetics, industrial disposability, and a touch of DIY panache (or japonaiserie-porn, greenwashing, and fauxthenticity, depending on where you’re sitting). A set of six of these coffee cups costs about nine bucks—or it will once WASARA finds a North American distributor; for now, they’re only available in Japan. Other pieces include maru and kaku—Japanese plates with little dimples for grasping with the fingers, ideal for serving up grocery store sushi—as well as tumblers and wine cups and compotes. A paperware compote! It gives the detachable-stem plastic champagne flute a run for its money.
