KINTSUGI originated in Japan in the late 15th century. The Emperor of Japan sent broken ceramics back to China for repair. After receiving his soup bowl back, restored, the Emperor noticed that the ceramics had been repaired with metal clamps. He immediately ordered his imperial craftsmen to develop something more aesthetic.
The result: KINTSUGI (golden repair). The beauty of imperfection. Repairing an object makes the product unique and personal.

This art later became so popular that collectors deliberately smashed valuable pottery so that it could be repaired with the golden seams of KINTSUGI.

The HUMADE studio in the Netherlands developed the "NEW KINTSUGI Set" to enable broken objects to be repaired without having to send them to Japan or China.

The New Kintsugi repair kit is assembled locally by a social enterprise that employs people who are distant from the labor market. Humade strives to be an inclusive employer wherever possible and is grateful to have a team of 10 employees who assemble the kit with the utmost care.  

The aim of the "NEW KINTSUGI Set" is to preserve memories, not functionality. The materials used—putty, two-component adhesive, and colored powder (gold or silver)—are not food-safe and are not dishwasher-safe.

There are two versions: gold or gold-colored and silver or silver-colored.
Design: HUMADE

The kit can be used multiple times. Scope of delivery: Two-component adhesive, gold or silver powder, brush, bamboo sticks, and gloves. Putty for filling in missing parts. Step-by-step instructions with detailed pictures.
