JAPANESE ROOTS
Forming part of the brand’s visual identity, the creations are adorned with a motif paying tribute to the 15th-century Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted with powdered gold, silver or platinum to highlight cracks and holes instead of hiding them. The technique is also a symbol of psychological resilience associated with the Japanese philosophy of the beauty of impermanence and imperfection. This reference to embracing f laws renders his objects even more beautiful and taps into the idea of recycling instead of throwing away.
