TODAY’S MASTERS MEET TOMORROW’S TALENTS
Mark your calendars! This April, 23 duos of emerging talents and master artisans will unveil their collaborative creations at Milan Design Week as part of the second edition of Homo Faber Fellowship. Over six months, these master-apprentice pairs have crafted unique objects that merge craftsmanship, art, and design, drawing inspiration from Art Deco. The collection highlights the power of collaboration, craft, and its future as a career. Join us at Casa degli Artisti from 7th to 13th April 2025 to experience these handcrafted pieces up close and celebrate the future of craftsmanship.
