Buccellati exhibits the Caviar Collection at Milan Design Week 2026
Presented for Milan Design Week 2026, the Caviar Collection reaffirms Buccellati’s mastery of the art of the table, combining timeless style with enduring craftsmanship. The Caviar collection thus stands as a symbol of the Maison’s enduring commitment to both design and artistry.
The Caviar Collection is one of the most recognisable expressions of Buccellati’s formal design language. It features a silver surface defined by microspheres, a texture that recalls the appearance of caviar and that, over time, has become one of the Maison’s distinctive hallmarks.
This motif is used in numerous tableware items, including caviar spoons, trays, plates, ice buckets, Murano glassware and flutes. The range is now expanding to include new additions: a new complete flatware set, two caviar bowls in different sizes, and a bread plate, further enriching Buccellati's tableware offerings.
The spherical design, a longstanding feature of Buccellati's jewellery and silverware, is one of the Maison’s distinctive elements. Reinterpreted by Andrea Buccellati for this collection, the motif is created from an original drawing by the designer, as with all Buccellati creations. This is followed by the creation of a delicate “crown” of silver microspheres that gives the Caviar collection's signature motif its shape, which appears in the various pieces in the collection.
This motif finds one of its finest expressions in the Cratere delle Muse (1981), one of Gianmaria Buccellati's most significant works. Part of the Oggetti Preziosi collection, conceived to celebrate the great goldsmithing tradition and ideally live up to the masters of the past, the cup – crafted from a single block of jade, in gold silver and sapphires – is unique. The Cratere delle Muse by Gianmaria Buccellati served as inspiration for Andrea Buccellati for the Caviar Collection.
Now part of the Fondazione Gianmaria Buccellati, the work is an iconic reference point in the Maison's creative journey.
The new tableware collection continues this tradition, preserving the artisanal principles that have defined the collection's identity since its inception. Each element is crafted using traditional manual silversmithing techniques, adding uniqueness and character to each surface. The Caviar Collection thus exemplifies design and manufacturing continuity, where artisanal practice remains central to the creation of objects designed to be used, appreciated and passed down over time.

The shapes of the collections are all inspired the historical archive drawings and by the very first creations of the founder, Mario Buccellati. Today, the Maison is 100% owned by Richemont, but the Buccellati family is still present in the company with top level managerial functions. Buccellati boutiques are present in the most important cities and in the most prestigious Malls of the world.
