comfort zone to make his highly anticipated Milan Design Week debut. Best known for his influential tenure at the creative helms of Dior Homme and Berluti, the visionary designer is bringing an otherworldly range of bronze vessels and a brand-new ceramics collection to the Fondazione Sozzani from April 20 to April 26.<\/p>\n<p>Serving as the centerpiece of his Milan showcase, the \u201cNectar Vessels Bronzes\u201d series was conceived alongside Paris art dealer Fran\u00e7ois Laffanour. The installation is designed to offer a contemplative respite amid the frenzy of the design festival, featuring a pink garden where the vase sculptures emerge from the ground like blossoming flowers. Crafted at the Fodor Foundry in France, the 14-piece collection boasts intense, matte powdery exteriors that intentionally contrast with gleaming, polished interiors to reveal the natural pink-gold hue of the bronze.\n<\/p>\n<p>In addition to his intricate bronze work, Van Assche is continuing his growing relationship with Belgian design firm Serax. Following his initial \u201cJosephine\u201d vase collection, he is introducing \u201cRosamar,\u201d a series of sculptural urns, jars, and pots. Rooted in childhood memories of family trips to the Costa Brava, the contemporary designs feature concrete-like clay, sharp color-blocked glazing, and distinctive square bases that break away from traditional throwing processes.\n<\/p>\n<p>While Van Assche is fully embracing the technical precision of industrial design, he is not abandoning his fashion roots. The designer recently unveiled a 13-piece apparel collaboration with British heritage brand Fred Perry and is currently wrapping up a second season for Anta Zero. Moving forward, he plans to maintain a diverse portfolio that seamlessly bridges the gap between luxury fashion, contemporary art, and innovative home design.\n<\/p>\n<p>Kris Van Assche\u2019s design installations will be on display at Fondazione Sozzani in Milan from April 20 through April 26, 2026.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6693373\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Tokyo Fashion Week FW26 Street Style\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6693597\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Best Footwear Trends at Tokyo Fashion Week FW26\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6694141\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>PlayStation and Pedestal\u2019s Elevates Gaming Furniture With the Moon Legacy TV Stand\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.

comfort zone to make his highly anticipated Milan Design Week debut. Best known for his influential tenure at the creative helms of Dior Homme and Berluti, the visionary designer is bringing an otherworldly range of bronze vessels and a brand-new ceramics collection to the Fondazione Sozzani from April 20 to April 26.<\/p>\n<p>Serving as the centerpiece of his Milan showcase, the \u201cNectar Vessels Bronzes\u201d series was conceived alongside Paris art dealer Fran\u00e7ois Laffanour. The installation is designed to offer a contemplative respite amid the frenzy of the design festival, featuring a pink garden where the vase sculptures emerge from the ground like blossoming flowers. Crafted at the Fodor Foundry in France, the 14-piece collection boasts intense, matte powdery exteriors that intentionally contrast with gleaming, polished interiors to reveal the natural pink-gold hue of the bronze.\n<\/p>\n<p>In addition to his intricate bronze work, Van Assche is continuing his growing relationship with Belgian design firm Serax. Following his initial \u201cJosephine\u201d vase collection, he is introducing \u201cRosamar,\u201d a series of sculptural urns, jars, and pots. Rooted in childhood memories of family trips to the Costa Brava, the contemporary designs feature concrete-like clay, sharp color-blocked glazing, and distinctive square bases that break away from traditional throwing processes.\n<\/p>\n<p>While Van Assche is fully embracing the technical precision of industrial design, he is not abandoning his fashion roots. The designer recently unveiled a 13-piece apparel collaboration with British heritage brand Fred Perry and is currently wrapping up a second season for Anta Zero. Moving forward, he plans to maintain a diverse portfolio that seamlessly bridges the gap between luxury fashion, contemporary art, and innovative home design.\n<\/p>\n<p>Kris Van Assche\u2019s design installations will be on display at Fondazione Sozzani in Milan from April 20 through April 26, 2026.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6693373\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Tokyo Fashion Week FW26 Street Style\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6693597\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Best Footwear Trends at Tokyo Fashion Week FW26\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6694141\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>PlayStation and Pedestal\u2019s Elevates Gaming Furniture With the Moon Legacy TV Stand\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.
