ARTEMEST GALLERIA
Essenza Italiana
Working on the redesign of Artemest Galleria, Samuele Brianza, alongside Artemest Creative Director Ippolita Rostagno, pondered the question “What makes Italian design so special?”. Their answer comes in the form of a tightly curated display of furniture, lighting and décor by over 50 Italian artisans and designers. Installed within Artemest Galleria, Brianza has conjured a compelling interior composed of furniture, lighting and objects crafted from time-honoured materials using traditional techniques from specific regions of Italy. The result is a space with an unmistakably Italian ambience, where each piece tells a story of creativity and craftsmanship.
Contemporary art dealer Samuele Visentin has curated Artemest Galleria’s art display with a selection of thought-provoking works by emerging Italian artists. The redesigned space opens with a solo exhibition of works by Antonio Fabozzi, which nod to classic Antica Roma archetypes such as ‘memento mori’ and ‘larvae convivalis’. It marks the first in a series of planned exhibitions that will be hosted by Artemest Galleria.
