As a connoisseur of fine craftsmanship and a traveler who has ventured through the winding streets of Venice, I can confidently say that Bottega Veneta‘s ‘Bottega for Bottegas’ is a celebration of the timeless artistry that permeates this enchanting city. Each year, they bring forth the hidden gems of Venetian craftsmanship to the world, and this fourth installment is no exception.
This year, Bottega Veneta unveils the fourth edition of their seasonal project, ‘Bottega for Bottegas’, showcasing Venetian artisans and artists on a global scale. The name, inspired by the Italian word for “workshop”, reflects Bottega Veneta’s commitment to preserving and celebrating its rich heritage in fine craftsmanship.
Glass vendors hold a prominent position on the list, showcasing Italy’s long-standing craft of glassmaking that dates back over a thousand years. Laguna B, the creator of the tall striped vase used in the campaign, is spearheaded by artistic director Marcantonio Brandolini, who has introduced modern-influenced collections crafted by the skilled glassmakers of the company. Artist Bruno Amadi, who has been crafting nature-inspired glass pieces at his Campo San Polo workshop since 1974, creates an array of items such as starfish, insects, vegetables, and more using his refined techniques.
In other locations, Signor Blum presents intricate wooden jigsaw puzzles with a sculptural touch, designed based on Venice’s architectural wonders and natural surroundings. Each of these 3D puzzles crafted by Signor Blum are meticulously drawn, cut, and colored by hand. Fonderia Artistica Valese, a company that has been in operation for over a century, is the last foundry left in Venice. This company specializes in creating brass and bronze sculptures as well as interior hardware using sand-casting techniques, drawing inspiration from local cultural themes.
