Kintsugi Kit

Celebrate imperfection by making your own golden repairs.

Developed by Humade in 2009 inspired by the old Japanese art of kintsugi, meaning gold repair.

The story goes that Kintsugi may have originated when in the late 15th century the emperor of Japan got his Chinaware back repaired with staples. He ordered his craftsmen to come up with something more aesthetic, gold repair. This art became such a hype that some collectors deliberately started smashing valuable pottery so it could be repaired with the gold seams of kintsugi.

With the ‘New kintsugi repair kit’ Humade combines this lovely old technique with new technology. By messy mending you emphasise the marks and scars of a product giving it a new perspective and beauty while offer it longevity.

Available in Gold or Silver
