K-OVER Experience at YouNique – Fine Craft Art & Design Event
For K-OVER, participating in the YouNique – Fine Craft Art & Design event at Villa Ciani was not just an honor, but a testament to their dedication to preserving artisan traditions. Villa Ciani provided a timeless backdrop that perfectly complemented the craftsmanship and fine artistry of K-OVER’s champagne covers.
The event at Villa Ciani served as a tribute to the mastery of fine artisans, including silversmith master Lorenzo Foglia, whose exceptional craftsmanship was at the forefront of this remarkable gathering. These artisans, each possessing a unique set of skills and an unwavering commitment to tradition, brought their creations to life with a profound dedication to quality, authenticity, and the time-honored techniques that have been passed down through generations. Lorenzo Foglia, among the many talents, stood as the heart and soul of the event, captivating visitors with his unmistakable passion, meticulous attention to detail, and an unswerving dedication to his craft. His presence, along with the other gifted artisans, illuminated the event and showcased the extraordinary artistry that thrives in the world of fine craft and design.
K-OVER felt immensely privileged to be a part of this event, where like-minded artisans and craftsmen came together to celebrate the art of fine craft, design, and the preservation of traditions. It was an opportunity for K-OVER to not only showcase their own champagne covers but also to connect with a community of individuals who share a deep appreciation for the value of artisanal craftsmanship.
“The 2023 edition of YouNique Fine Craft Art & Design was a real success with the public and the satisfaction of the exhibitors present. This feedback has once again demonstrated how keenly our visitors’ desire is to surround themselves with unique and unrepeatable artefacts and contemporary works of art, not purchased through e-commerce but directly from the hands of those who created them.”
