Gucci Herbarium Room →

For the Gucci Herbarium Room of the Gucci 4 Rooms show, Osaka-born artist Chiharu Shiota transformed an iconic pattern of Gucci's new vision in all-embracing scale. Hers is a full immersion of Alessandro Michele's emblematic bicolored motif of branches, leaves and flowers.

Starting from fashion accessories, it expands over tapestries, old furnishings and decor to create an imaginary, dreamlike room. The intentionally dusty and old-fashioned space is wrapped by a tight grid of over 28km of red yarn, resembling a gigantic spider web that pushes it in and out of focus, transforming it into an optical illusion, like an elusive chimera.
