When a broken object is worth more than a new one: the japanese lesson of Kintsugi

Kintsugi is the ancient Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with lacquer mixed with gold, silver or platinum powder. Born in 15th century, this technique transforms fractures into precious decorations, making the repaired object more beautiful and precious than the original. A philosophy of sustainability, beauty and acceptance that today can teach us everything about living spaces and objects with authenticity.
