Italian luxury brand Loro Piana celebrates its 100th anniversary

The original thistle machine, shipped from Italy to Shanghai, symbolizes the textile tradition of softening coarse fabrics. The thistle has been part of Loro Piana's Coat of Arms since 1951.

The retrospective concludes with an oversized cashmere sofa and a soundscape that merges Chinese and Italian cultures.

Additionally, the exhibition offers visitors a cozy spot to sit and appreciate Qiu Zhijie's artwork from the Mappa Mundi series, a six-meter-long fictional piece depicting the diverse histories of cultural exchange with China.

The exhibition runs until May 5.
