KPM Berlin and Bottega Veneta are celebrating their successful
partnership with a joint exhibition at one of the most sought-after
locations in Berlin – the “Hackesche Hoefe”. The venue of Bottega Veneta
and KPM Berlin will be “TheBox”, located in courtyard No. 3 of the
“Hackesche Hoefe”. Bottega Veneta and KPM Berlin started their exclusive
partnership in 2008 when Bottega Veneta decided to launch its first
porcelain line. It was only a natural consequence that KPM´s competence
of hand made and hand painted porcelain and Bottega Veneta´s fashion and
design expert knowledge were brought together by Tomas Maier, Creative
Director of Bottega Veneta.
The 9 porcelain elements can be mixed easily in an informal way.
There are no serving pieces, reflecting today´s casual lifestyle. The
hand painted pattern is designed by Bottega Veneta and is called
“Intreccio Svanito” after the signature leather weave. Each piece of
Intreccio Svanito is numbered by the artist in addition to bearing the
marks of KPM and Bottega Veneta.
A major architectural attraction as well as a favourite spot for
international visitors, the “Hackesche Hoefe” is a vibrant hub right in
the centre of Berlin. This modern antipode, made of un-rendered concrete
and floor-to-ceiling glass, is clearly set apart from the classic
retail stores. By presenting Bottega Veneta´s home collection together
with KPM Berlin both companies emphasize their commitment to traditional
craftsmanship. For interior designers and architects as well as design
aficionados the Berlin showroom will be a platform of stimulus and
inspiration.
