Suggestions from Japan in the Collection of Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba.

Japanese suggestions inspire Kintsugithe new collection by Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba for Selettiinspired by the Japanese technique of repairing ceramics with gold and silver.A completely revolutionary technique that goes against the grain of today's society of consumerism and hit-and-run products.
Yet, from this approach to recovery, Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba draws inspiration from it for an artistic production that brings with it elegance, preciousness, refinement.
The Kintsugiwhich literally means the art of repairing with gold, is a Japanese practice that consists precisely of using gold and liquid silver to repair ceramics routes.
These materials, poured into the cracks and between the shattered pieces of ceramic, consolidate, giving new life to the product, which acquires a unique royalty, increasing its value.
The beauty of imperfection and respect for the history of an object are the basis of this collection by the designer e artist Italian, launched at the Maison Et Objet 2018 for the Seletti brand.
Unique pieces, plates and cups and trays, in which the shapes from a previous break-up are assembled, embraced in a precious balance of colours. Gold is the glue of this "mosaic" of memories: a respectful recovery, an enhancement of the past, an elegant and contemporary rebirth, for a style that in part winks at the Dandy style, and which certainly echoes the delicate atmospheres derived from the Rising Sun.
