The Italian Cultural Institute and the Consulate General of Italy in Hong Kong are pleased to support Produzione Privata, a solo show by Architect and Designer Michele De Lucchi, presented by Novalis Art Design Gallery. In this exhibition, the Ambassador of Design 2025 showcases a captivating array of handcrafted design objects that embody the spirit of experimentation and craftsmanship.
Produzione Privata, established in 1990 by Michele De Lucchi and Sibylle Kicherer in Italy, is an innovative design firm that champions the art of craftsmanship and the importance of handmade objects. The company operates outside conventional industrial production, collaborating closely with artisans to create distinctive design pieces in small quantities. This approach allows for a focus on creativity and personalization, offering clients a range of customizable options in furniture, lighting, and accessories.
The artworks on display draw inspiration from architecture, art, and traditional craftsmanship, emphasizing a humanistic perspective that fosters emotional resonance and narrative depth. Each item reflects a commitment to quality and innovation, showcasing the beauty of imperfection and the creative process, along with the unique story behind its creation. This event promises to inspire and challenge perceptions of contemporary design, reinforcing the importance of the human touch in every creation.
This initiative is organised within the scope of activities related to the Italian Design Day 2025.
