BOTTEGA VENETA ANNOUNCES LORENZO MUSETTI AS BRAND AMBASSADOR #BOTTEGAVENETA

BOTTEGA VENETA PRESENTS ‘CRAFT IS OUR LANGUAGE’, A CAMPAIGN MARKING THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ICONIC INTRECCIATO LEATHER WEAVE Shot by Jack Davison and choreographed by Lenio Kaklea, the campaign celebrates Bottega Veneta handcraft and creativity, as well as the wider beauty of hand gestures as a universal language. First introduced in 1975, the Intrecciato weave is not only Bottega Veneta’s signature craft; it is also a powerful expression of interconnectedness, exchange, and the collaborative ethos at the heart of the house ever since it was founded by a collective of artisans in 1966. True to this spirit, Craft is our Language captures hand gestures that represent Intrecciato alongside universal hand gestures that connect people across generations, cultures, backgrounds, and contexts. In still images and film, the campaign features Bottega Veneta artisans alongside outstanding practitioners across art, film, fashion, literature, music, and sports. These include singer-songwriter and record producer Jack Antonoff, director Dario Argento, designer Edward Buchanan, artist and sculptor Barbara Chase-Riboud, singer-songwriter Neneh Cherry, filmmaker and creative Dave Free, model and actress Lauren Hutton, singer I.N, actor Troy Kotsur, actress Vicky Krieps, actor Terrance Lau, actress Rie Miyazawa, actress Julianne Moore, tennis player Lorenzo Musetti, actress Shu Qi, writer Zadie Smith, singer-actress Thanaerng, recording artist and producer Tyler Okonma, and conductor Lorenzo Viotti. #BOTTEGAVENETA

On the 15th of April, we held a special gathering at Villa e Collezione Panza in Varese, discussing the contributions of Giuseppe Panza di Biumo and his wife Giovanna in shaping the trajectory of modern art.

BOTTEGA VENETA PAYS TRIBUTE TO SCARPA Bottega Veneta upholds its core values by honoring culture and championing artistic freedom.

The evening concluded with a screening of The Pavilion on the Water – a poetic film by Stefano Croci and Silvia Siberini exploring Carlo Scarpa’s enduring bond with Japan. #BOTTEGAVENETA

BOTTEGA VENETA HOSTS A POETIC CONVERSATION — AN IMMERSIVE INSTALLATION THAT BRINGS POETRY, INDIVIDUALITY, AND DESIGN INTO POWERFUL DIALOGUE. On April 18 and 19, Bottega Veneta opened its interactive installation at the Rowing Club in Shanghai, showcasing 19,000 copies of In Such a Staggering World by renowned Chinese poet Yu Xiuhua. The books were arranged in a three-dimensional Bottega Veneta brandmark, which slowly dissolved as visitors took home a copy, leaving only the poetry and the personal reflections of each reader.   Yu’s evocative writing — raw, confessional, and deeply personal — challenges perceptions of love, freedom, and disability. Her work reflects a profound connection to the themes of individuality and self-expression, principles that Bottega Veneta has championed since its founding in 1966. In this poetic act, the installation becomes a living expression of the brand’s enduring philosophy: When your own initials are enough.   #BOTTEGAVENETA

For this intimate edition of CORRESPONDENCES, Patti Smith debuts a special tribute to visionary Italian designer, Carlo Mollino, and his last interior project, Casa Mollino in Turin. The mise en scène of CORRESPONDENCES brings together these different aesthetic and symbolic associations, including the original bed from Casa Mollino, and butterflies crafted by Bottega Veneta artisans. #BOTTEGAVENETA
