A high five for Handmade
Wallpaper* Handmade with Leclettico
Wallpaper* Handmade returns to the Leclettico gallery for
its fifth, freshly minted celebration of craft, creativity and
collaboration at Salone del Mobile. The success of last year’s
spectacular Handmade presentation at Leclettico has turned
San Gregorio Docet into Milan’s newest go-to design district
and this year’s bar-raising, must-see event has been produced
in collaboration with the gallery’s founder Claudio Loria.
Once again an international cast of star designers, craftsmen
and makers has been assembled to produce one-off wonders,
so prepare to be amazed, beguiled and charmed as:
Vincenzo De Cotiis turns the table on a wondrous set
of Jaguar wheels
Sony celebrates creativity with sub-atomically sharp screens
The Ace Hotel’s Lovage serves up life-enhancing elixirs
Bally lets loose with hell-for-leather skis
Todd Bracher pops a corking jacket
We unveil the world’s best-designed (and tastiest)
new neighbourhood
And Michael Anastassiades creates beautifully
dressed windows with Brioni for Handmade’s first
off-site installation.
In partnership with
Wallpaper* Handmade at Leclettico is open from Tuesday
8 April to Saturday 12 April at via San Gregorio 39, Milan.
The full story of how the Handmade project came together,
from first contact to finishing touches, will be told in the
August issue of Wallpaper*, out 10 July.
Tony Chambers, Editor-in-Chief of Wallpaper*, says:
‘It’s a high five for Handmade and we are delighted
to lead the charge for Milan’s hottest design district.’
