For Stéphane, a golden thread woven into his pajamas serves as a permanent reminder of one fateful night.

Stéphane had his pajama shirt repaired using a golden thread. A dramatic event in his life had a happy ending, and he wanted this golden thread to remind him of it. The thread mirrors the Kintsugi style of pottery repair.  Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese technique used for repairing broken pottery. Gold-dusted lacquer is used to rejoin the shards and thus emphasizes the cracks and adds beauty to the piece’s imperfections.
