Broken places
made beautiful with gold.

Kintsugi (金継ぎ) is the Japanese craft of repairing broken pottery by joining the pieces with gold lacquer. The fracture is not hidden. It is the most beautiful part of the finished object. That is the company.

The name

Tsugi (継ぎ).
The seam itself.

The cinema home is fractured. The hardware in your living room can resolve a 12-bit gradient. The signal you receive is 8-bit. The TV manufacturers pushed past 4K and then past HDR. Streaming did not follow.

We do not pretend the fracture is not there. We rejoin the pieces, and the seam is what makes the whole thing worth looking at. That is the brand. That is the architecture. That is why every page on this site has a thin gold rule somewhere.

Home theater rewoven. The picture you were always supposed to see, on the hardware you already own, with the gold seam visible if you look for it.
