The exhibit celebrates Milan’s design and craftsmanship and the jewelry brand’s own tight connection to the Italian city.
Belli expressed her “absolute conviction of the strong synergy with Milan and its style. Pomellato jewels reflect the spirit and lifestyle of the city.”
This is achieved by juxtaposing Pomellato’s signature pieces with three furniture icons of Milan. The Iconica jewels meet Gio Ponti’s SuperLeggera chair made by Cassina while Nudo is seen with the Proust armchair by Alessandro Mendini for Magis. The Catene collection connects with the Arrangements Lamp by Michael Anastassiades for Flos.
The third theme is called “Milanese Elegance,” where Pomellato’s style is shared in the privacy of Milan’s gardens and theaters.“We set the tone and objectives with Alba, we didn’t want it to be too pedestrian in expressing the concept,” Belli explained. While Belli is planning for the exhibition to be a traveling one, the first leg being in Japan points to the importance of the market for Pomellato.
