GUCCI AND ANCORA

Sabato De Sarno, the creative director of Gucci Ancora, is planning a project called Design Ancora, which will be revealed during Milan Design Week. In conjunction with the city’s international furniture and design trade show Salone del Mobile, the event will take place at Gucci’s flagship store at Via Montenapoleone.

A special edition of five objects will be displayed at Design Ancora, “representing contemporaneity through their interpretation of iconicity, from a bygone era that symbolizes Italianity, and even more so Milananness,” Gucci said, without disclosing further details. Through the golden age of Italian design, the Italian mastery of craftsmanship and serial reproduction has been broadcast throughout the world.”
