Kintsugi
Kintsugi is as much a Japanese philosophy as it is a technique: repairing what is broken not to erase the scars, but to enhance them with gold. Inspired by this ancestral method of repairing porcelain with gold solder, Seletti's Kintsugi collection transforms it into a contemporary aesthetic language. What was an accident becomes beauty. What was a flaw becomes a signature.
It was the irreverent designer Marcantonio Malerba who took hold of this ancient art to create a collection that plays with delicate porcelain and elegant glass, brought together by golden veins that make each piece unique and original. A dialogue between East and West, between artisanal heritage and designer creation, carried out with the creative freedom that characterizes Seletti's entire approach.
The collection is distinguished by the union of materials such as fine porcelain, glass, and fragments of gold, in unexpected and enchanting compositions. The glasses, meanwhile, are made from fragments joined by gold, a technique used in Japan to give new life to objects. Each piece seems to have transcended time to arrive at your table.
Plates, cups, mugs, bowls, vases, glasses, and porcelain trays – the Kintsugi collection covers the entire table with rare coherence. It lends itself equally well to an everyday meal as to a carefully staged setting. Place a Kintsugi plate on a white tablecloth, and the table becomes a work of art in its own right.
