About Kintsukuroi 벽지
킨츠쿠로이(Kintsukuroi)는 실내 벽면을 위한 디지털 프린트 벽지이다. 디자인은 청색과 백색의 정교한 도자기 표면이 갈라져 열리는 모습을 보여준다. 갈라진 틈 뒤로는 귀금속 박이 빛나는 면이 드러난다. 이 패턴은 깨진 도자기를 금으로 수선하는 일본의 전통 기법인 킨츠쿠로이를 연상시키며, 이는 파손과 수리를 사물의 역사이자 회복력의 표징으로 여기는 태도를 담고 있다. 벽지는 금색, 청동색 또는 은색의 메탈릭 마감이 적용된 엠보싱 비닐에 인쇄된다. 각 패널의 규격은 650 × 270센티미터이며, 주어진 공간에 맞추어 재단할 수 있다.

The wallpapers are produce in The Netherlandswith a high quality fundation that meets the highest standards of washability and fire resistance, European certification BS1,d0, it is also scratch resistant. - Design Challenge
- The hardest part of this design is surely the technical part, combining the complex design with the metallic finishes mantaing a high resolution for a high profile product trough transparencies, cutting masks and very hard work
- Research
- The research for this design was driven by my love for ceramics and my passion for structured surfaces. I started looking for museum art collections of ancient pottery and found a natural scene, a celestial scene that could break at any second due to its fragile enduring material, an unexpected break . Doing more research on Kintsukuroi, the Japanese art of repairing broken objects with gold I worked a lot on graphic software and on the choice of materials and I created this wallpaper.
- Inspiration
- This project started with a deep interest in porcelain and world traditions on ceramic materials, the white and blue porcelain tradition of Asian porcelain is certainly one of the most interesting. Combining with the Japanese tradition of Kintsukuroi, repairing broken pottery with gold making it even more precious made a snap in my mind, the natural beauty of blue and gold, like sky and sun. The fine plated surface of a past society that now dashes hopes of what might be behind it.
- Project Duration
- The project started during the 2020 pandemic, when every certainty fell apart into our minds a new value arose, a rediscovery of our inner needs, the inspiration for this design. With the collaboration of YO2 Design, the project has become a reality, a new wallpaper brand in the 2021 catalog.
- Operation Flow
- Kintsukuroi is a high profile wallpaper with a minimal design took from ancient japanes white and blue ceramic plates, available with different metallic finishes as gold, bronze and silver. It has a size of 650 x 270 cm but could be adapted and cutted in shape of the customers needs. It fits perfectly a baroque room same as a minimal one, a piece of art with a deep meaning every one could purchase.
