RIBA AND THE LONDON ICG GALLERY CELEBRATE ITALIAN CULTURE AND DESIGN IN A SPECIAL EVENING

Strengthening their longstanding partnership, Iris Ceramica Group and RIBA welcomed over 80 architects for an evening dedicated to Italian culture, cuisine, and cutting-edge design.

The night featured a lineup of inspiring speakers: Jan-Carlos Kucharek, Deputy Editor of RIBAJ, kicked off the event, followed by Chiara Cola, Senior Lecturer at London Metropolitan University, who explored the influence of Italian Futurism on design. Giacomo Bertoni, Head of Specification for Iris Ceramica Group UK, highlighted the Group’s commitment to innovation, while Paola Cattarin, Director at Zaha Hadid Architects, presented the major renovation project of the Romeo Hotel in Rome, a landmark transformation led by the renowned architecture firm.

Bringing together ideas, flavours, and perspectives, the event once again turned the ICG Gallery into a vibrant hub for culture, conversation, and new opportunities.
