- “Heavy Reticello” is described as both an homage to and an evolution of historical Venetian craftsmanship, translated into a bold and tactile material language.
The Paris-based designer, LS Gomma, has unveiled a collection of new pieces in Venice at an exhibition called “Heavy Reticello.” This event is being held by Max Radford Gallery from London and coincides with the start of the Venice Architecture Biennale. The title of the show references the intricate patterns found in lace and glassblowing, but in LS Gomma’s works, these designs are created using metal mesh and rubber.
Max Radford, based in London, explains that the connection between LS Gomma’s work and some of the Murano glassworks made it a logical choice to display their collection at the exhibition.
Preparing for the wider Venice Biennale, the exhibition will launch at the Palazzo Contarini della Porta di Ferro and its surroundings, showcasing furniture and lighting made from a unique blend of rubber and metal mesh – a signature material for this Paris-based designer.
The pieces, including chairs, benches, and lights, displayed at the event have all been meticulously handcrafted in the designer’s own studio. As described by the gallery, these creations embody a lattice-like intricacy, reimagining an ethereal technique in a more substantial, tactile form. In this manner, ‘Heavy Reticello’ represents both tribute and progress – transforming traditional craftsmanship into a powerful language of material, grounded in exploration and physicality.
Reticello display ended on May 18th. You can now buy these pieces directly from the gallery; inquire about pricing whenever you’re ready.
