For Milan Design Week final April, Bottega Veneta tasked design maestro Gaetano Pesce with making a site-specific paintings on the home’s Through Montenapoleone retailer. Pesce and his workforce draped an enormous scaffold construction with painted canvas, sprayed it with resin and backlit it to create an immersive grotto set up, the place guests may view two baggage realised by Bottega Veneta for the designer.
As a celebration of this distinctive undertaking, entitled ‘Vieni a Vedere’ (and amongst our favorite style moments of Milan Design Week 2023), every customer to the grotto obtained a memento reward: a poster drawn by Pesce, commemorating the set up, and a field containing putting hand-painted goodies by Turin-based artisanal chocolatier Peyrano – little doubt our sweetest Wallpaper* Design Awards 2024 winner (the distinct goodies had been awarded ’Greatest Goody Bag’ at this 12 months’s awards, as featured in our February challenge).

Matthieu Blazy, Bottega Veneta’s inventive director first collaborated with Pesce for the home’s S/S 2023 present, the place he created 400 vibrant resin chairs, in addition to a poured resin flooring. Within the artist’s humanist fashion, every chair was completely distinctive, that includes naive smiley faces, drawings of purses, or the designer’s personal signature.
‘As a designer, I make originals, not standardised sequence, that’s the previous method – that is the brand new method,’ Pesce stated on the time. ‘And this can be a style firm that did a improbable job in serving to me realise such a undertaking. It’s a message that’s tremendous political – and it isn’t a museum or a gallery that’s serving to me convey it. Who makes tradition in the present day? The museum or the style firm? It’s meals for the mind – not for pay. If we see the identical factor every day, then we die.’
