BUCCELLATI PARTICIPATES IN THE THIRD EDITION OF HOMO FABER WITH TWO ART DE LA TABLE AND HAUTE JOAILLERIE PROJECTS THAT CELEBRATE THE HANDMADE
The Buccellati High Jewellery and Silversmith Maison is delighted to announce its participation in the third edition of Homo Faber , to be held from September 1st to September 30th at the Giorgio Cini Foundation , on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice .
For the second time running , Buccellati has been invited to take part in this prestigious cultural event dedicated to the celebration of art , creativity and contemporary craftsmanship , and the role they play in our daily lives . On the occasion of the event , the Maison presents two distinct projects : the first one is dedicated to the art de la table , with a special centerpiece composed of artichokes , celebrating their rich symbolism and Nature as a source of inspiration ; the second one pays tribute to the craftsmanship of high jewellery .
Homo Faber proposes a sensory journey to discover the savoir faire by offering an experience enriched by evocative sets , participatory workshops and much more , allowing the public to discover great talents in the most diverse manufactures and their splendid objects . The Michelangelo Foundation , curator of the event , entrusted the artistic direction to Luca Guadagnino , film director and producer , and Nicolò Rosmarini , a young architect from Milan . Together they developed the theme of ‘ The Journey of Life ’, from an idea by Hanneli Rupert ,
Vice President of the Michelangelo Foundation . Guadagnino and Rosmarini ’ s work leads visitors to discover all the moments in our lives in which craftsmanship still plays a special role . Buccellati is part of this context with two projects celebrating the value and timelessness of the handmade things : a large and singular silver creation of the art de la table in the Cenacolo Palladiano Hall , dedicated to the theme ‘ Celebration ’, and an immersive exhibition dedicated to jewellery in the Arazzi Hall celebrating the theme ‘ of Love and Union ’.
