“Inspired by Japanese aesthetic philosophy, wabi-sabi, and the art of pottery repair– Kintsugi.
The studio coaxes rustic, mottled surfaces from their work to create attractive and unique pieces that develop and change with time, in keeping with the Kintsugi philosophy that treats change, breakage, and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise. The broken tray was mended with molten tin alloy in a manner that celebrates the flaws as a uniqueness that lies within the cracks. This results in a beautiful and elegant platform for displaying jewelry and a spontaneous table top decoration.”
