TODAY’S MASTERS MEET TOMORROW’S TALENTS
This April, 23 duos of emerging talents and master artisans unveiled 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 highlighted the power of collaboration, craft, and its future as a career.
Homo Faber Fellowship is presented by the Michelangelo Foundation in partnership with Jaeger-LeCoultre
The House of Switzerland Milano is presented by Présence Suisse and Pro Helvetia
