Bobbin lace of Cantù: Special Edition for EXPO 2015
The purpose of the project is to promote the art of bobbin lace making of Cantù, an expression of an historical know-how of excellence which is still practiced in the territory of Brianza.
In connection with the 12th International Lace Biennial in Cantù, starting in October 2015, the Committee for Lace Promotion has decided to support a series of events designed as a sort of “exclusive previews” that will anticipate and recount for the visitors of Expo and to the delegations of other countries the extraordinary craftsmanship of our lace makers which also expresses itself in the realization of laces with a contemporary design.
During these performances our lace makers will execute some fragments of laces designed by renowned architects and designers, such as: Patricia Urquiola, Luca Scacchetti, Alessandro Mendini and Ugo La Pietra. These events are part of Merletti & Design, a project promoted by the Committee with the aim of enhancing the value of laces through the execution of unique pieces.
The designs are functional to the realization of a lace for a tablecloth (one for each designer). The tablecloth is considered as the most significant complement in the rites surrounding food consumption in Italy and further it is coherent with the theme of the Expo.
The project is patronaged by the Region Lombardy - DG Culture, Identità, Autonomie within the project E.CH.I Etnografie Italo-Svizzere for the enhancement of the transboundary intangible heritage: (www.echi-interreg.eu www.intangiblesearch.eu )
