New exhibition in the Milan Flagship Store: Cadrega celebrates Hessentia's savoir-faire
Hessentia presents a new exhibition at its Milan Flagship Store, offering a reinterpretation of one of the most familiar design archetypes—the chair—through a sculptural and poetic gesture that embodies the essence of Italian craftsmanship.
The star of the exhibition is Cadrega – “chair” in Milanese dialect – a piece Handcrafted in Brianza made with one of Hessentia’s signature techniques: the artistic bronze sand casting.
The ancient and complex art of bronze working is reinterpreted through a minimalist and sculptural language that enhances the purity of form and the refinement of detail. the metal is cast in the sand mould and then finished and polished, resulting in a unique piece that is both functional and artistic.
In the new setup, Cadrega comes to life in a vibrant interplay of colours and textures: bold, vivid panels frame the chairs, while their metallic hues echo and reflect the surrounding palette, enhancing the artistic expression and creating a truly immersive visual experience.
