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 staples. He immediately ordered his imperial craftsmen to develop something more aesthetic.
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 deliberately smashed valuable pottery so that it could be repaired with the golden seams 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.

The New Kintsugi repair kit is assembled locally by a social enterprise that employs people furthest 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 the function. The materials used - putty, two-component glue and color 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 several times. Scope of delivery: two-component adhesive, gold or silver powder, brush, bamboo sticks and gloves. Putty to fill in missing parts. Step-by-step instructions with detailed pictures.
