'New Kintsugi' is a new way of gluing porcelain, based on the ancient Kintsugi technique.
The story goes that Kintsugi was developed in the 15th century. The Japanese emperor had his porcelain repaired and got it stapled back. He ordered his artisans to come up with something that would be more aesthetically pleasing, a repair with gold.
This method of repair became such a great success that collectors intentionally dropped precious pieces broken only to have it repaired with Kintsugi's gold seams.
With this "New Kintsugi kit," Humade combines a beautiful old technique with new technology. By repairing messily, you highlight the marks and scars of a product and give it a new perspective and beauty. Moreover, by doing so, you offer the product longevity.
