A brand dedicated to the sustainable repair and restoration of carbon components in cycling. Inspired by Kintsugi, the Japanese art of visible mending, the project combines repair with empowerment, storytelling, and conscious visibility. Carbon is a resource-intensive, costly material with a significant ecological footprint—making preservation and reuse all the more essential. The bicycle serves as an activist object in this context. Kintsugi offers both technical and philosophical approaches to understanding repair as a deliberate practice and to strengthening the relationship between people and objects. The project translates these values into a contemporary brand identity that manifests both in media spaces and within the urban environment.
