During Design Week 2026, the Gianni Chiarini Firenze boutique in Milan is transformed into a contemporary Garden of Eden —
an immersive environment where fashion, design, and craftsmanship intertwine in a dialogue of material, form, and values.

The installation evokes the memory of a primordial garden where pure forms and archetypal symbols come to life through material.
Grasses sway lightly through the space, guiding the eye among sculptural terracotta elements:
apples, vessels that embrace emptiness as a promise, luminous “poldine” glowing like small fireflies, and seating conceived as islands of contemplation.

The objects are shaped by essential, universal geometries — sphere, arch, hemisphere — and crafted in Impruneta terracotta, the same material that has coloured Florence’s rooftops in warm red hues for centuries.
A living material that, in the hands of Fornace Carbone, takes on contemporary forms while preserving the memory of tradition.
Among these elements, the apple returns as a simple yet powerful symbol: a sign of origin, a gesture of new beginnings.

Within this timeless Eden, the new Gianni Chiarini Firenze icons take shape:
the Sienna model and the new woven versions of DUA and Marcella.
Bags that express the brand’s artisanal heritage while engaging with the language of contemporary design, balancing gesture and material.
