Gucci Design Ancora remixes 5 Italian classics, a project re-editing five icons in the House’s signature shade. For Milan Design Week, Gucci revisits the golden age of Italian design, presenting five iconic objects with a Gucci twist – reimagined in Rosso Ancora red. Gucci Design Ancora is co-curated by PS creative agency founder Michela Pelizzari and Spanish architect Guillermo Santomà and is presented within the confines of Gucci’s flagship store on via Montenapoleone.

 A celebration of the golden age of Italian mastery across craftsmanship and serial reproduction, the collection spans the Le Mura sofa, the Clessidra rug, the Storet cabinet, the Opachi vase, and the Parola floor lamp.
