Patcraft’s Metal Collective Inspired by Kintsugi Practice

Patcraft has launched its newest resilient collection, Metal Collective. Metal Collective is a resilient tile collection featuring metallic accents inspired by the Kintsugi practice of repairing broken pottery using metallic ink. Through an embossed in register process, Patcraft’s design team created a concrete visual inspired by the Kintsugi philosophy, which treats breakage and repair as important details that serve as part of the design history and sustainability. Metal Collective has been delicately curated to reflect the patina of natural surfaces, answering a market-driven trend for realistic concrete visuals.

“Metal Collective was inspired by the idea that there is beauty in imperfection, which inspires a rich, natural aesthetic,” said Amanda Hopkins, designer for Patcraft. “The metallic accents are delicate but striking, creating a dynamic resilient tile that serves as compelling inspiration within the built environment.”
