- We recommend that you primarily use parts that have been repaired with Kintsugi as decorative items.
- The Kintsugi set does not have an official food approval.
- It is important that the mixing ratio between the two components is 1:1 and that the glue hardens sufficiently in min. 48 hours. It is recommended that the glue does not come into contact with anything hotter than 100 degrees.
- Never put the repaired part in the oven or microwave
- We recommend hand washing Kintsugi parts, as the glue can be discolored by certain washing programs and detergents.
The wabi sabi philosophy
Beauty in the imperfect
Kintsugi is a Japanese technique for repairing broken ceramics, where the shards are joined together with gold glue. It stems from the Wabi-Sabi philosophy, which is about seeing the beauty in the imperfect.
When the broken parts are put back together, it creates a whole that is more beautiful than it was before. Beauty is thereby found in the defective rather than focusing on the fact that the ceramics no longer appear in their original condition. Failure becomes a strength and part of its history.
