HET HEKSENHUUS (SECRET GARDEN) - Milan Design Week 2024
Milan Design Week 2024, I present ‘Het Heksenhuus’, The Witch House in collaboration with the Maître d’Arts Simone Crestani.
‘On the first floor of Villa Mozart, an extraordinary private Milanese residence from the 1930s, exceptionally open to the public during the Fuorisalone. The sophisticated and engaging exhibition design, curated by the creative and interior design duo Eligo Studio, is inspired by the fusion of artifice and nature to which the villa itself, entirely covered with ancient ivy that envelops its elegant forms, is an extraordinary testimony.’ Richemont Group.
Before being a blown glass object, it’s first and foremost a story, the story of my grandmother’s secret home.
Full of fantasy, invisible details and grandma-made treasures, nothing leaves a mark quite like the warm memory of someone you have personally met and known your whole life.
‘The essential is invisible to the eye’ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
To water the dreamer’s garden, where the ordinary is a treasure.
Thanks to Maison Serapian for purchasing a second original piece and showcasing it in their boutique, in Milan.
The watercan is an hommage to one of the most influential Artist in my life, Gatske van Mossel.
