        Eau#1 | Lacquer Box with Kintsugi

        US$105.00

        This urushi lacquer box comes from Sumatra, Indonesia. It is decorated with a simple and poetic underwater scene of a koi fish gliding among aquatic plants.

        To improve the poor condition of this box, we have applied kintsugi, a Japanese technique that repairs damaged areas with lacquer blended with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. Kintsugi enhances its character. Rather than concealing imperfections, kintsugi celebrates them, allowing the history of this object to remain visible and cherished. It preserves the box’s journey and encourages a mindful use of resources.

        Kintsugi invites us to reflect on the value of embracing flaws and the stories they carry, suggesting that what is broken can be transformed into something new and meaningful. This technique honors what we have acquired and creates beauty through the act of restoration.
