About
Kintsugi Ceramics
Antwerp
Chloé and Sebastiaan are adventurous souls! After their wedding, they went on a honeymoon backpack trip, but ended up living and working abroad for almost two years! In 2020, their travelling adventures were suddenly put to a stop.
Looking back, they appreciate the forced break, which allowed them to reflect on what they truly wanted to do; it was a journey of self-discovery.
When a family member visited them in Belgium, he introduced them to the art of kintsugi. They immediately embraced the beauty and philosophy behind this craft. They had always dreamed of starting a business in which the product matched their core values: sustainability and authenticity. Kintsugi brought it all together.
They decided to use CHIYU as their brand name. Much more than a method of repair, kintsugi is also the art of recognizing that in the process of healing, something beautiful, unique and resilient is created.
They want to inspire you to slow down, to reconnect with yourself, to embrace and celebrate imperfections. Acknowledge the person you have become throughout a journey filled with joy and sadness, which is called life, and know that you are better with your golden cracks.
