Ateliers SP joins Homo Faber in Venice
Running from September 1 to 30, the third edition of the Homo Faber Biennial, celebrates contemporary craftsmanship through the theme “The Journey of Life” at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini in Venice, Italy. Curated by film director and interior architect Luca Guadagnino, along with architect Nicolò Rosmarini, the event will feature the works of more than 400 highly skilled craftspeople from 50 countries, in 10 themed exhibition spaces.
At Homo Faber 2024, Ateliers SP is showcasing “Amphora”, an exquisite turned box crafted from amaranth and ebony by French cabinet maker Frédéric Hamel. This piece exemplifies Frédéric’s mastery of woodturning and guilloche. “Amphora” is a testament to his meticulous craftsmanship and innovative approach to traditional techniques.
