Platform21 "Most Remarkable Repair Contest" Now Online!

By Aart van Bezooijen - August 20, 2009

in Competition

We love repairing and it seems we're not alone here. Ever since Platform21 presented its Reparing Manifesto (earlier) they received over 60 inspiring entries in the Most Remarkable Repair Contest.

For instance, Platform21 now offers a solution for broken china: the new repair technique Bison kintsugi (photo).

Designer Lotte Dekker developed a new view of gluing porcelain based on kintsugi, an old Japanese technique in which porcelain is repaired with gold leaf. It's an extremely time-consuming, expensive method. Dekker found Bison glue to be the perfect Western variant for making beautiful yet simple repairs.
