The Kintsugi glass incorporates the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with precious metals into tableware design. Its clear glass construction features 24 carat gold applied to imitate the smoothing over of cracks, creating a distinctive pattern that celebrates the beauty of repair. The transparent material allows the gold detailing to stand out while maintaining the glass's practical function.
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.
