Kintsugi Vase / Design 2

White Kintsugi Vase Small - Seletti

Created by Italian designer Marcantonio, this vase is designed in this stunning style of Japanese art known as Kintsugi. Kintsugi ('golden joinery'), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.

Material: Fine Porcelain 

Dimensions: 18 x 16 h.19 cm

He is quickly becoming one of the most esteemed Italian art designers of his generation. Connections between people and nature are his favourite theme, interpreting both the dynamics and beauty of them.
