Wheel-thrown stoneware, partially glazed, enhanced with Japanese lacquer and pure gold, gilded porcelain. Unique piece.

With Hana*Fleur, Karen Swami reinterprets the Japanese tradition of kintsugi, transforming it in a radical new way. Instead of highlighting cracks with gold, she makes them bloom. Delicate porcelain flowers, meticulously sculpted by hand, emerge from the fractures, embodying a renewed vision of repair: not to conceal the flaw, but to let it blossom.

This collection brings together floral abundance and formal minimalism, creating a poetic tension that has become the artist’s signature. Where there was once gold, flowers now bloom.
