MERAVIGLIOSO&MERAVIGLIOSA: apolysensorialjourneyintotheworldsofPromemoria andBottegaGhianda viaBagutta13-viaMontenapoleone8,Milano

Two worlds. Different yet alike. Two brands of Italian excellence like Promemoria and Bottega Ghianda present themselves at the 2024 Milan DesignWeekunderthesignofMERAVIGLIA. Their new collections are bound by the same multisensory approach and the desire to engage our senses in an experiential journey marked by astonishmentandadmirationfortheoriginalityofaprojectwhichblends quality,elegance,andbeauty. Both companies of Romeo Sozzi, Promemoria and Bottega Ghianda, are known for their dedication to high craftsmanship and the production of timeless furniture pieces: much more than simple furnishings, but real woodensculptures,oftenembodyingallthe characteristicsofartwork.

→PRESSKIT

In an era where production chases technological development, governed by the use of machines, mass production, ever tighter rhythms and lower costs,abusinesslikeBottegaGhiandaseemsanachronistic. It is a place where the pursuit of beauty and perfection has the greatest value. We value time, careful selection of each piece of wood, the knowledge of the tree’s history before it was raw material. People, generations of cabinetmakers who have handed down the art and culture of working wood, give it value. Bottega Ghianda places no limit to the time necessary to create unique objects. Quality knows no compromise andnonumericallycontrolledmachinecancreatemasterpieceslikeours. These are works of art exhibited in the world's most important museums and galleries - objects as unique as the people and hands that created them. Unique like their irreplaceable tactile, olfactory and visual ability torecognisethebestandmostsuitablewoodsforeachwork.

It's an important year for the Studio.

We inaugurate our collaboration with Magis with an ambitious project that has required more than 4 years of development, and we present two products designed for Zilio A&C.

The Brezza collection designed for S·cab is expanding and the relationship with La Cividina continues by revisiting one of their historical sofa collections.

For S·cab, we also take on the role of Creative Strategic Advisor, and the Salone will showcase the first results of almost a year of work.

Finally, a new artistic direction is inaugurated, that of Venedia, with which three novelties are presented.

Good Vision, Alessandro Stabile
