Beauty in Imperfection
Wabi Sabi
Kinto specialise in creating products that are inspired by the concept of wabi sabi, which is the appreciation of beauty in imperfection and transience.
Wabi sabi is not just a design aesthetic, but also a philosophy and a way of life. It encourages us to slow down, pay attention to the details, and embrace the natural flaws and variations that make each object unique. Kinto homeware, tableware and drinkware reflect this idea with their organic shapes, subtle colours, and textured surfaces. They are made of high-quality materials such as porcelain, glass, wood, and stainless steel, and they are designed to be durable, functional, and easy to use.
