Wallpaper* Handmade with Leclettico goes on show in Milan
For the fifth consecutive year, Wallpaper* has assembled an international cast of star designers, craftsmen and makers to produce one-off wonders. Prepare to be amazed, beguiled and charmed at this year’s bar-raising, must-see spectacle at the Leclettico gallery in Milan during the Salone del Mobile.
This year sees Vincenzo di Cotiis turn the table on a wondrous set of Jaguar wheels, Bally let loose with hell-for-leather skis, and the Ace Hotel’s Lovage serve up life-enhancing elixirs. Sony, meanwhile, celebrates creativity with a new range of sub-atomically sharp screens – on view for the first time.
Elsewhere across town, Michael Anastassiades dresses beautiful windows with Brioni for Handmade’s first off-site installation at via Gesù 2a.
For those that don’t make it to Milan, see the big reveal in our upcoming August issue (W* 185) – on sale 10 July
We are bringing to life some of the stories behind the one-off wonders in this year's Handmade exhibition with a series of films shot on 4K Ultra HD by Sony. Here, illustrator Ian Wright delves into the workshop of pencil manufacturer Caran d'Ache

This collaboration sees textile designers Wallace Sewell and Savile Row tailors Gieves & Hawkes join forces. All the films are being shown on the sub-atomically sharp screens of the new 85" X95 and 65" X9 4K Ultra HD BRAVIA TVs by Sony within the exhibition space
