ROOTS Exhibition was honoured to welcome the Embassy and Consulate General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands during Milano Design Week for a special presentation and international Architect Lunch at the beautiful ROOTS Rooftop. These moments demonstrate the unique international network and high-level connections that Masterly and ROOTS continue to cultivate — bringing together pioneers, institutions, governments and creatives who share a vision for a more connected and regenerative world.

On Wednesday 22 April, The Gift of Colour by PastForward brought together designers, makers and cultural voices in a setting centered on material, knowledge and exchange in Milano. Within this context, a special moment unfolded as top model Chiara Scelsi appeared wearing a kimono by Claudy's textile label LOADS Collection and Marcos Luengo—bringing the narrative of natural colour and textile craftsmanship to life.
