“Kintsugi is the Japanese art of putting broken pieces back together with gold — built on the idea that in embracing flaws and imperfections, you can create an even stronger, more beautiful piece ot art”
The concrete floor on this retail space was completely scattered in pieces, with some hollow areas. The repair of all the cracks was the most important task on this job, and traditional filling materials will end on too many patches and disruption of the final look.
In the need to find a Perfect Imperfection we came up with Kintsugi: the art of enhancing the imperfections. We started by opening all cracks, and fill each one of them with gold paste. The epoxy solidified all broken pieces allowing for the polishing process to level all pieces and leave a leveled floor with flushed gold lines
