BOTTEGA VENETA Presents its new Home Collection during Salone del Mobile 2016

Weaving together a harmonious balance between textures, design, functionality and fine craftsmanship, Bottega Veneta launched its new home collection at the Salone del Mobile Furniture Fair in Milan. Created by Tomas Maier, creative director of Bottega Veneta, the new home collection is a reflection of the house’s affinity for a timeless aesthetic, fused with impeccable craftsmanship.

Each piece comes together to complement the other through form and colour, from the clean lines of the Rudi seating elements to the utterly modern arch tables in a strong and polished combination of bronze and matt oak. In a further celebration of Bottega Veneta’s profound affinity and identification with impeccable craftsmanship, the sofas and tables are joined by a chest of drawers entirely sheathed in suede or leather with a top in marble or wood and discreet yet outstanding bronze handles which feature the iconic intrecciato pattern on the sides. A series of sterling silver collectible boxes, each bearing the name of a planet and embellished with semi-precious stones, along with a hand painted porcelain dining service add the finishing touches to the atmosphere. A collaboration between Bottega Veneta and Osanna Visconti di Modrone, the Italian designer, produced distinctive and singularly individualistic designs, a set of bronze tables with a surface that pays tribute to the house’s signature intrecciato motif enrich the collection. Each piece of furniture is immaculately aligned, and the entirety of Maier’s conjured show space feels akin to what a night in a museum would feel like. Hugged by coffered ceilings and stone walls, you feel cosy and right at home, but at the same time antiquated. In awe of the historic beauty that surrounds you, marble busts from the 1st century BC, Roman columns and an elegant backdrop of the 18th century Palazzo Gallarati Scotti.
