Where Beauty Meets Resilience
A staple of this space is the timeline of the Grappone family history over the past 100 years, from arriving in America to opening the brand new Grappone Mazda dealership in Concord, NH.Â
Handmade furniture from Pompanoosuc Mills accents the room and provides comfort throughout the space.Â
The Kintsugi Room is also home to the graduates of Leadership Grappone, our 9-month leadership initiative program, as they continue to work on new and existing projects in our community.Â
Welcome to the Kintsugi Room, inspired by the Japanese art form of repairing broken pottery, where each fracture is mended with lacquer and gold leaf, resulting in a masterpiece that surpasses the original. Immerse yourself in an environment that reveres the beauty discovered in moments of resilience and grace.Â
Our Kintsugi-inspired vessel, crafted with New Hampshire clay, is displayed in our local artisans section. Explore the story behind the creation of this masterpiece as you walk upstairs to the second floor of our dealership, where the Kintsugi Room is located.Â
At the center of our conference room is a handmade cherry table created by our Master Technician, Scott Lantagne. Scott has been a part of the Grappone team since he was a student at Concord Regional Technical Center. He is a master of his automotive craft and a talented woodworker in his spare time.Â
Located on the second floor of our dealership on 134 Manchester St. in Concord, NH, the Kintsugi Room is more than just a meeting space - it's a canvas showcasing the dedicated work of local artisans.

Throughout the space is the seamless integration of furniture from Pompanoosuc Mills, which ties the room together effortlessly.Â
