On view from April 8-13 at the Palazzo Citterio, the exhibition paid tribute to the everyday object, reimagining the vessel’s sculptural form.
Each artist had taken a unique approach, drawing on the rich variety of tea making cultures around the world. Some expressed a formal rigor through sober materials, like David Chipperfield's cobalt blue design, adorned with a copper handle. Meanwhile, Rose Wylie’s vessel took inspiration from British Royal Albert china tea sets, with an exaggerated lid and fluted detailing, and Jane Yang-D’Haene wrapped her piece with frayed ribbons of clay.
Japan figured prominently in the collection with Akio Niisato's perforated teapot and Takayuki Sakiyama's upward swirling lines. Shozo Michikawa and Simone Fattal topped their teapots with woven leather handles, marrying precision and craft. Lu Bin and Madoda Fani had chosen to leave their teapots unglazed, porous, and vibrant to allow the flavors of the tea to seep into the clay.
Accompanying the collection, LOEWE unveiled a capsule of exclusive pieces, including woven leather coasters, botanical charms, Galician clay teapots with silver or gold glazes, and an Earl Grey candle in a terracotta vessel brush-painted with real gold. In collaboration with Japanese master artisans Kaikado, LOEWE also presented 'chazutsu' tin-plated tea caddies, embellished with brass and leather motifs.
In addition, LOEWE introduced Fiori e Sapori, a signature tea blend created in collaboration with Postcard Teas, a celebration of the arrival of spring with notes of verbena, chamomile, bergamot, and roses. The blend had been available since April 7 at the LOEWE store in London and online.
