Homo Faber Fellowship presented by Michelangelo Foundation, “Today’s Masters meet Tomorrow’s Talents” Exhibition – Milan Design Week 2025

I’m thrilled to announce my participation in the prestigious Homo Faber exhibition in Milan, an extraordinary event celebrating the finest craftsmanship from established masters and emerging talents worldwide.

Alongside Paolina Bumeder, my fellow for the past six months, we will be showcasing our co-created room divider, inspired by Art Deco and crafted from silk and oak wood. This piece is a testament to our dedication to natural dyeing, sustainability, and artistic innovation.

Our work will be presented alongside 23 duos of emerging talents and master artisans. We will unveil our collaborative creations at Milan Design Week as part of the second edition of Homo Faber Fellowship. Over six months, Paolina and I have created unique objects that merge craftsmanship, art, design, drawing inspiration from Art Deco. The collection highlights the power of collaboration, craft, and its future as a career.

Join us at Casa degli Artisti from the 7th to the 13th of April 2025 to experience these handcrafted pieces up close and celebrate the future of craftsmanship.

This is an incredible opportunity to experience our creation firsthand in one of the world’s most renowned exhibitions dedicated to craftsmanship, innovation, and tradition.

I invite you to join me in Milan to explore how nature, creativity, and textile craftsmanship come together in my designs. I look forward to connecting with fellow makers, sharing stories, and introducing my work to a new audience!

See you in Milan!
