Their irregular inner surface takes advantage of the natural colour gradation that occurs in soy sauce at shallow depths, to give the illusion of three-dimensional shapes once filled.

There are two types of dish, impossible 'triangle' & 'cubes'.

Each box features a cool halftone black-only graphic of the shapes

Each holds two matching dishes, held within a 5-layer, stacked cardboard presentation tray with matt-card sleeve, cut and assembled by hand in Tokyo.

There's only 77 of each type, signed and serial numbered.

The “Triangle” dishes are inspired by the Penrose triangle created by the Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvärd in 1934, which was popularised in the 1950's by Lionel & Roger Penrose.

Each of the limited-edition cardboard trays has 5 layers of cardboard which are cut and assembled by hand. Each pack needs about 100 individual cuts to complete.

There's only 77 of each limited edition pack, and each of them is signed and serial numbered.

Soy Shape’s are Made in Japan, by craftsmen and craftswomen of Gifu prefecture, which has a long history in the ceramics industry.
