Homo Faber

Venice 2022


From April 10th until May 1st, 2022, Homo Faber returned to Venice for its second edition: it is an innovative cultural event dedicated to contemporary craftsmanship.

 

Buccellati took part for the first time in this immersive experience, offering digital initiatives, excepional scenographies and live artisan demonstrations.


For the whole duration of the event, Buccellati attended with its own space, highlighting the manual skills of its craftsmen.

One of our silversmithing masters was there "live" to work on some iconic silver pieces of the "Doge" and "Double Rouche" collections.

A tale that revealed the craftsmanship behind a silver creation.



At "Homo Faber", Buccellati shared its artistic concept made of details and of huge admiration and respect for the aesthetic values brought to life by the talented and passionate hands of the artisans.

 

Creations recalling the splendours of Venetian Art, from Renaissance to Baroque times.



A minimalist space to concentrate on the skilful gestures of those who made "handmaking" their own job and art.

All the gestures and the precious techniques revealed by the silversmith master could then be found on the finished objects displayed in our personal booth.

A selection of silver "Doge" creations, which are the summa of Buccellati mastery in this art, reminds us of the huge admiration and respect that Buccellati has always declared for the city of Venice, for centuries the main junction between East and West, in a continuous contamination of artistic tastes and cultures.

The collection is composed of i mpressive creations in hand-hammered and chiselled silver, furtherly enhanced with combined elements of malachite and lapis, which enlighten silver and make all objects precious and incomparable.
