At Homo Faber 2026, Buccellati presents a feathered fan that crowns the Animalier brooch and exemplifies the Furry technique, created by Gianmaria Buccellati in the 1960s from the search for a new method to reproduce nature with precision and lifelike detail such as animal fur and feathers. This handcrafted technique involves the skillful working of extremely thin silver sheets to achieve an extraordinary sense of realism, capturing the essence of animals in every detail. Surrounded by this magnificent fan is the Animalier brooch, depicting the “Bird of Paradise”, a piece created in 2002 by Gianmaria Buccellati and now part of the Maison’s historic collection.

During Milan Design Week 2026, from April 21st to the 26th, Buccellati unveiled “Aquae Mirabiles”. This immersive installation, curated by Federica Sala and designed by Balich Wonder Studio, features a special collaboration with Luke Edward Hall, whose drawings have transformed the concept into a tangible and evocative visual experience. The exhibition beautifully celebrates the Caviar silverware collection and its iconic microsphere motif. Through a narrative that harmoniously blends epic grandeur with poetic sensitivity, the installation transports visitors into the Maison’s universe, weaving a luminous and deeply Italian story rooted in tradition.

In the spaces adjacent to Buccellati’s headquarters in Piazza Tomasi di Lampedusa, Balich Wonder Studio has created the temporary structure for “Aquae Mirabiles”. From the outside, it resembles a Water Theatre, but within, a submerged world awakens: an imagined Atlantis where history, myth, and fantasy seamlessly intertwine.
