BOTTEGA VENETA TURNS LEATHER INTO LIGHT AT MILANO DESIGN WEEK 2026

In the context of Milano Design Week 2026, Bottega Veneta presents Lightful, an installation developed in collaboration with Korean artist Kwangho Lee that transforms its iconic intrecciato into luminous sculptures.

Set within its Via Sant’Andrea store, the installation is composed of woven, suspended pieces that integrate light, exploring new possibilities between material and illumination.

Under the creative direction of Louise Trotter, the palette—black and green—reinforces the house’s visual codes while pushing its savoir-faire into a more experimental territory.

Presented during Milan Design Week, the project reinforces the brand’s presence within the contemporary dialogue between fashion, art, and design.
