The Design

About Kintsugi Ferrari Red Conversation Piece

Kintsugi Ferrari Red piece from Egg Vessels Collection is a unique, one of the kind piece primarily inspired by the expressive brushstrokes of abstract expressionism and the history of the automobile. After an accident, the piece has matured and received another meaning by being fully restored by using Kintsugi where the cracked pieces were put back together and filled with gold. This unique process gave the art piece complex fresh beauty and simplicity. It gained the maturity of something once broken, yet alive again.
