KINTSUGI Repair Kit from HUMADE
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 pottery had been repaired with metal staples. He immediately ordered his imperial craftsmen to come up with something more aesthetically pleasing.
The result: KINTSUGI (the gold repair). The beauty of imperfection. By repairing an object, the product becomes unique and personal.
This art later became so popular that collectors intentionally smashed valuable pottery so that it could be repaired with the golden stitching of KINTSUGI.
Studio HUMADE from the Netherlands developed the "NEW KINTSUGI Set" to make it possible to repair broken objects without having to send them to Japan or China as well.
The New Kintsugi repair kit is assembled locally by a social enterprise that employs people who are far from the labor market. Humade strives to be an inclusive employer wherever possible and is grateful for a team of 10 employees who assemble the kit with the utmost care.
The aim of "NEW KINTSUGI Set" is to preserve a memory not function. The materials used putty, two-component glue and color powder (gold or silver color) are not food safe and also not dishwasher safe.
There are two variants: gold or gold color and silver or silver color
Design: HUMADE
The kit can be used several times. Scope of delivery: two-component glue, gold or silver powder, brush, bamboo sticks and gloves. Putty to fill in missing parts. Step-by-step instructions with detailed pictures.
