Kintsugi Dinner Plate No. 3 - White/Multicolor, Porcelain

The Kintsugi Dinner Plate No. 3 offers porcelain construction with 24 carat gold applied in a pattern referencing the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with precious metals. Designed by Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba, the gold detailing traces across the white surface to imitate smoothed-over cracks, with each plate carrying a unique arrangement. The combination of white porcelain and gold detailing gives the piece a tactile, artisanal quality.

Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba's collaboration with Seletti continues with the 'Kintsugi' collection, a series that incorporates the centuries-old Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with precious metals. Here, the technique materialises with 24 carat gold applied to a range of porcelain tableware items — such as this dinner plate — in a manner that imitates the smoothing over of a series of cracks, in a nod to the beauty of regeneration and repair.
