ALCANTARA LE ICONE: AT THE BRIDGE VII

For The Bridge VII, Alcantara presents LE ICONE (The Icons): an open-air museum that takes on a journey through time and the history of the brand, starting from interior design and proceeding to fashion, then automotive and consumer electronics.

The threads that run through this itinerary are the values of Made in Italy and the contemporary lifestyle of which Alcantara has always been ambassador, together with the material’s boundless creative languages, a source of inspiration and medium for international artists and designers to express themselves.

Alcantara LE ICONE begins with the idea of “art material” and places Qui Lei Lei’s work ‘Signs, Symbols and Scripts’ at the heart of the space, to visually explore how the material transforms each common object into a unique must-have.

The Tulip armchair, designed by Marcel Wanders and covered in silver Alcantara for this event, is a prime example. Also notable the range of clothes from the special collections made with Yohji Yamamoto, Lanvin and GCDS.
