Milan Design Week is held 12-17 April 2016, and for the forth year running, Vivienne Westwood, the fashion
designer and iconic British brand host an exclusive design collaboration as
part of Milan Design Week 2016.
The British fashion brand has partnered with design company
‘Stories of Italy’ for the international debut of its unique Italian home décor
collections.
This special installation is in the Vivienne Westwood Milan
flagship store in Corso Venezia 25, and in the newly launched Vivienne Westwood
accessories focused boutique in Porta Nuova , from 12 – 17 April 2016.
Stories of Italy
The inspiration at the core of Stories of Italy’s aesthetics
comes from the great historical and cultural heritage of Italy; fittingly,
their new collections explore the potential hidden behind marble and glass, two
classic Italian materials that achieve pure, clean aesthetics but require
rigourous craftsmanship and scrupulous know-how.
Stories of Italy was born with the aim of sharing the
excellent craftmanship that distinguishes Italy as one of the leading countries
for design and manufacturing in the world. The vases and tableware collections
feature exquisite hand-made pieces in Carrara marble and Murano hand-blown
glass, blending art, craft and design to capture the essence of these iconic
Italian traditions.
Stories of Italy exhibit their glass and marble pieces alongside an ancient Murano working bench and original working tools,
highlighting the heritage of the traditional manufacturing techniques.
Exhibition running: 12-17 April 2016
Addresses:
Vivienne Westwood flagship store, Corso Venezia, 25 -
