The Design

About Kintsugi Ferrari Red Conversatiestuk

‘Kintsugi, Ferrari Red’ is een uniek, uniek stuk dat voornamelijk is geïnspireerd op de expressieve penseelstreken van het abstract expressionisme en de geschiedenis van de auto. Na een ongeluk is het stuk volwassen geworden en heeft het een andere betekenis gekregen door het volledig te restaureren met behulp van de oude Japanse techniek “Kintsugi” waarbij de gebarsten stukken weer in elkaar worden gezet en met goud worden gevuld. Dit unieke proces gaf het kunstwerkcomplex een frisse schoonheid en eenvoud. Het kreeg de volwassenheid van iets dat ooit gebroken was en toch weer leeft.
