Bottega Veneta's Summer 2027 Set Features Illya Goldman Gubin's Karton Hocker Sculptures
Bottega Veneta's Summer 2027 presentation showcased a collection of crumpled cardboard boxes, prominently featuring Karton Hocker stools by Ukrainian artist Illya Goldman Gubin, designed by Louise Trotter. Goldman Gubin transforms cardboard by reinforcing it with fiberglass and epoxy resin, resulting in seating that is both functional and sculptural. The folding design of the boxes reflects the Intrecciato technique of Bottega Veneta. Leather flowers crafted by the brand's artisans contrast the simplicity of the cardboard with exquisite craftsmanship. Invitations to the show were uniquely crumpled, enhancing their individuality. The event also included a sound installation by Florian Hecker and musical pieces from Mark Leckey, merging fashion, art, design, and sound while celebrating the elevation of ordinary materials.
