Bottega Veneta Celebrates 50 Years of Intrecciato at Harrods

 

Bottega Veneta opens a month-long pop-up at Harrods, London, celebrating half a century of its signature Intrecciato weave. The project, running until October 2nd, 2025, explores the brand’s craft vocabulary through space, weaving together product, architecture, and gesture into a retail environment that speaks to heritage and experimentation.

 

The installation introduces La Tavola, a new architectural concept modeled on the communal tables used in Bottega Veneta’s ateliers. Positioned as the centerpiece of the Harrods space, it functions as a workshop-like platform where visitors can engage with small leather goods, jewelry, and fragrances. A dedicated compartment highlights the construction of the Intrecciato technique, turning what is usually hidden labor into an object of study. Alongside, bespoke stationery and keepsakes curated exclusively for the pop-up are offered to clients.

Interlocking Forms in Wood and Concrete complete the pop-up

 

The design of the pop-up store takes inspiration from weaving, with furniture and fixtures arranged in an interlocking system. Made from concrete and Italian walnut, the pieces echo both the geometric precision of Bottega Veneta’s Intrecciato pattern and the modernist architecture of the Veneto region, where the house was founded. Soft leather elements carry this motif through the interior. A capsule collection in emerald green, a color tied to both Harrods and Bottega Veneta, highlights the space, while the launch of Mezzanotte, a trio of woody perfumes, adds a sensory layer to the project.

 

The visual direction comes from Craft is our Language, a campaign photographed by Jack Davison. The imagery focuses on hand gestures as symbols of making, communication, and closeness, presenting the artisan’s hand as both subject and tool. In line with the themes of the pop-up, the series draws inspiration from Italian artist and designer Bruno Munari and his handbook Supplemento al dizionario Italiano, which explored the meaning of Italian hand gestures.
