Gucci | Bamboo Encounters | Milan Design Week 2025

,

From art and culture to design, bamboo has traced a unique path throughout the House’s history, becoming the natural protagonist of Gucci | Bamboo Encounters. Curated and designed by 2050+ and its founder Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli, the event explores various interpretations of the material through the works of contemporary designers, including a limited-edition zine by data artist Tiziana Alocci.

The exhibition took place at Milan’s Chiostri di San Simpliciano during the Milan Design Week 2025.

PASSAVENTO by Nathalie Du Pasquier

Taking inspiration from bamboo’s form, French artist Nathalie Du Pasquier reimagines the material in a folding screen. Entitled ‘PASSAVENTO,’ Du Pasquier designed lightweight panels to frame silk prints. Presenting a natural juxtaposition, the work contrasts the wildness of bamboo with the delicate touch of fabric.
