KINTSUGI originated in Japan in the late 15th century. The Emperor of Japan sent broken pottery back to China for repairs. After receiving his soup bowl restored, the emperor noticed that the pottery had been fixed with metal clips. He immediately ordered his imperial craftsmen to come up with something more aesthetic.
The result: KINTSUGI (the gold repair). The Beauty of Imperfection. Repairing an object makes the product unique and personal.

This art later became so popular that collectors intentionally smashed valuable pottery so it could be repaired with the KINTSUGI's gold stitching.

Studio HUMADE from the Netherlands developed the "NEW KINTSUGI Set" to allow repairing broken objects without us 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 from outside the labor market. Humade strives to be an inclusive employer wherever possible and is grateful for a team of 10 people who put the utmost care into assembling the kit.

The goal of "NEW KINTSUGI Set" is to preserve a memory not the function. The materials used, putty, two-component adhesive and colored powder (gold-colored or silver-colored) are not food-safe and also not dishwasher-safe.

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

The kit can be used multiple times. Included in delivery: two-component glue, gold or silver powder, brush, bamboo sticks and gloves. Putty to fill in missing parts. A step-by-step guide with detailed pictures.
