Five corks. Five letters. One name: Dante.
“Dante. Reflected Identity” is a polyptych that builds a literary bridge between two civilisations united by their reverence for the written word — the Italy of Dante Alighieri and Japan’s calligraphic tradition. Each element rotates upon itself: on one side, the Latin letter in exclusive bordeaux fabric; on the other, its Japanese phonetic equivalent. Two identities. One voice.
Five verses from the Divina Commedia, inscribed on NFC chips and concealed beneath real Italian silk, await in silence those who know to seek them. The millimetric hand-crafting technique — unique in the world — transforms every millimetre of cork into a narrative surface, where fashion, literature and technology share the same space without hierarchy.
A work made to endure. Not to impress — to remain.

Cinque tappi di sughero. Cinque lettere. Un nome solo: Dante.
“Dante. Reflected Identity” è un polittico che costruisce un ponte letterario tra due civiltà accomunate dal culto della scrittura — l’Italia di Dante Alighieri e il Giappone della sua tradizione calligrafica. Ogni elemento ruota su sé stesso: da un lato la lettera latina in bordeaux esclusivo, dall’altro il suo equivalente in carattere giapponese. Due identità. Una sola voce.
Cinque versi della Divina Commedia, incisi su altrettanti chip NFC e celati sotto seta reale italiana, attendono silenziosi chi saprà cercarli. La tecnica millimetrica di realizzo — unica al mondo — trasforma ogni millimetro di sughero in superficie narrativa, dove moda, letteratura e tecnologia condividono lo stesso spazio senza gerarchia.
Un’opera nata per durare. Non per impressionare — ma per rimanere.
