The first easy to use DIY Kintsugi kit to repair broken ceramics with gold since 2009. Treasure the beauty of imperfection inspired by the old Japanese art of Kintsugi, meaning gold repair.


The New Kintsugi Story
‘New kintsugi’ is a new way of gluing porcelain based on the old Kintsugi technique. The story goes that Kintsugi may have originated when in the late 15th century the emperor sent his damaged Chinese pottery back to China for repairs. When it returned repaired with metal 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', invented in 2009 we combine this lovely old technique with new easy to use technology. This way we encourage everyone to mend broken artefacts instead of throwing them away. Even more so: instead of focusing on its flaws, the golden seams emphasise the cracks and thus celebrate the beauty of imperfection. By repairing an object, the product becomes unique and personal.
