The Kintsugi Glass features 24-carat gold detailing applied across its surface in a pattern that mimics the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with precious metals. Designed by Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba for the Kintsugi collection, the gold traces follow the contours of simulated cracks, referencing the traditional kintsugi technique of mending with lacquer and metal. The clear glass construction allows the gold detailing to stand out with full visual contrast, while the irregular patterning gives each piece a distinct, handcrafted character.
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 tableware items — such as this clear glass — in a manner that imitates the smoothing over of a series of cracks, in a nod to the beauty of regeneration and repair.
