At the Salone del Mobile in Milan this April, Bottega Veneta will have a pop-up store filled with beautiful items not readily available outside of Japan, as well as a small a collection of Bottega Veneta products designed exclusively for the occasion by Creative Director Tomas Maier.
The Japanese items for sale in the store were selected by Mr Maier together with Seiichi Kamei, editor-in-chief of Casa Brutus. Each object was chosen for its craftsmanship, functionality, design, and its relevance to Japanese tradition.
The objects include: Hand-cut Edo Kiriko glasses from a third-generation craftsman Yasunori Kimura for Taburo; Hand-cut Shippo Kiriko glasses from the Tokyo-based atelier Glass Forest; Akita cedar wood pitchers by renowned artisan Yasutaka Shimizu; A box featuring Hakone Yosegi-Zaiku, a traditional Japanese marquetry technique, by the award-winning craftsman Katsuhiro Kanazashi.
