and brands, craftsmanship and industrial production. All objects were re-edited in Rosso Ancora, a red hue to mark the beginning of Gucci's new creative chapter.

Icons included: – Storet by Nanda Vigo for Acerbis, 1994, re-edition 2020. – Clessidra rug, Portaluppi Pattern Project by Nicolò Castellini Baldissera from an iconic design of Piero Portaluppi, edited by CC-Tapis, 2024. – Parola by Gae Aulenti and Piero Castiglioni for FontanaArte, 1980. – Le Mura by Mario Bellini for Tacchini, 1972, re-edition 2022. – Opachi by Tobia Scarpa for Venini, 1960, re-edition 2021. • Saint Laurent Rive Droite joined forces with the Gio Ponti Archives and Fundación Anala y Armando Planchart to showcase a striking exhibition of porcelain tableware that Gio Ponti crafted for Villa Planchart in 1957 in Venezuela. Anala and Armando Planchart commissioned the renowned Italian architect to construct a villa overlooking Caracas, and the result was a home "as light and graceful as a butterfly posed on a hill," with vivid artisanal interiors, a vast art collection, and a colorful facade. At the end of the project's development, Ponti employed Florentine manufacturer Ginori 1735 (where he previously served as creative director) to create the collection of porcelain pieces, which feature decorative depictions of the Sun, the Crescent Moon, the Polar Star, and the letter A, inspired by the villa and its inhabitants.
