Kintsugi professional repair
REDUCE, REPAIR, RECYCLE, REUSE
The industrial age transformed our society into one of over-consumption, where replacing a faulty product has become commonplace rather than repairing it. It can be difficult to imagine that a damaged or broken object can be considered of value, both spiritual and aesthetic value .
The concept I propose aims to restore objects with a strong symbolic or emotional charge using the traditional Japanese method of Kintsugi Urushi. They will be respected, reconstructed and enhanced using different materials such as gold, in order to open a new chapter in their history.
PRESENTATION
The relationship I maintain with my clients and their objects is privileged. Each person and object has a different story, which is why I favor dialogue in order to obtain information about the pieces and the memories attached to them in order to offer the best possible restoration.
When a restoration is initiated, the repair process is carried out entirely with natural materials while respecting the tradition of Kintsugi Urushi.
KINTSUGI URUSHI REPAIR
The urushi lacquer method is nothing like a classic synthetic glue. This technique, in addition to providing a reworked aesthetic with quality metals, is resistant to water (hot or cold), has a long-lasting waterproofness while giving the object greater resistance. In addition, thanks to the use of materials of natural origin, the objects are not toxic, which is rarely the case with synthetic glues or other techniques.
