The fourth edition of Bottega for Bottegas is here
Bottega Veneta returns to celebrate the values of craftsmanship
December 4th, 2024
For the fourth consecutive year, Bottega Veneta celebrates craftsmanship with its initiative Bottega for Bottegas, which this year pays tribute to the brand's Venetian roots. Six artisan workshops from the region are at the center of this edition, highlighting the richness of manual expertise and local tradition. During December, Bottega Veneta's communication channels – from the website to the boutique windows – will be dedicated to objects crafted by master artisans. Among them is the Fonderia Artistica Valese, renowned for its brass creations featuring Venetian symbols such as the winged lion and the gondola's ferro. Equally representative are the creations of Signor Blum, which reproduce typical Venetian architecture in wooden puzzles, and the playing cards by Modiano, including the Trevigiano deck, also known as the Venetian or Veneto deck.
A special focus is reserved for the Murano glass tradition, with works by Laguna~B, Bruno Amadi, and Wave Murano Glass, who reinterpret centuries-old methods with bold, contemporary approaches. Their creations range from vibrant vases to marine-inspired decorations, such as glass stars. Launched for the first time in 2021 in response to the challenges faced by artisans during the pandemic, Bottega for Bottegas has grown into an international initiative. In its first edition, the project focused on Italian workshops, while in subsequent years, it included artisans from around the world, always maintaining a connection to Italian culture. This year, the focus returns to Venetian roots, emphasizing Bottega Veneta's profound connection to its home territory.
The special collection will be on display throughout December in the brand's boutiques and global spaces.
