Weave, Restore, Renew

On the occasion of Salone del Mobile 2022 in Milan, LOEWE presents craft across time and cultures with Weave, Restore, Renew exploring woven craft, ancient techniques and breathing new life into found objects and surplus materials that will be located at Palazzo Isimbardi.

Central to the exhibition at Palazzo Isimbardi is Repaired in Spain in which antique baskets gathered around the world have been meticulously restored by Spanish artisans, inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi.
