The Gift of Kings installation in Hong Kong.
The Gift of Kings installation in Hong Kong.

During Art Basel and set against Hong Kong’s skyline, Loro Piana created an ethereal escape celebrating the world’s most rare wool: Gift of Kings®. The dreamy installation on the 18th floor of H Queen’s Building immersed guests in a space where they could experience the finest wool in the world—an opportunity few have, due to its incredibly rare nature.

The Gift of Kings installation.

The installation featured an evanescent cloud-like sculpture, which floated inside the space, inviting visitors to step inside to touch and discover the Gift of Kings®. With Loro Piana’s deep connection to nature, through all of its endeavors, this connection was explored through the multi-room installation. Each room presents the wool as a natural phenomenon that conveys its characteristics: rain, waterfalls and waves portray softness, lightness and purity, respectively.

The exhibition opened with a private cocktail party attended by Vittoria Loro Piana, Luisa Loro Piana, Fabio d’Angelantonio (Global CEO) Bettina Prentice, Isolde Breilmaier, Kelly Chen, Raymond Lam, Michelle Ong-Cheung, Adrian Cheng, Kevin and Reina Chau, Yen Kuok, Victoria Tang-Owen, Edward Tang, Veronica Chou, Andrew Yuen, Gilbert Yeung, Yijia Tiong, Brandon Chau, Qiqi, Janet Ma, Cara G, Amanda S, Kirk Yip, Ruby Lam and more.
