We are thrilled to announce our exhibition in this year’s Milan Design Week at Alcova Located on the second floor of Villa Borsani, we invite you to join us for:

The exhibition, which will share a series of new and limited edition pieces Soft Witness made with Venetian and Florentine artisans, ushers visitors into an ethereal sanctuary. Quietude, reflection, and cognition. These are just a few of the expansive states where our works find origin, and what ‘home’, we believe, serves to elicit.

Here, we will debut our statement chair, ‘Cono’, in a camel-colored baby alpaca mohair, the ‘Tienilo Occasional Table’, and a handblown collection of floral glass finials, entitled ‘The Sbocciamo Series’ (meaning “lets bloom” in Italian). The finials will sit atop our new upholstered oak-framed partition, ‘Sfondo’. Alongside, visitors can find new editions of our Liberamente Daybed, the Joan Side Table, the Patty Sconce and Pendant, and the Soul Sculpture.

True to our founder, Whitney Krieger’s approach, each piece is laden with poetic symbolism via form, name, and/or materiality. For example, “Joan” and “Patty” are thoughtful homages to family members, Liberamente’s metal frame is a visual reconciliation to past constructs, Tienilo is a metaphorical visual on relationship dynamics. Liberamente, the Patty lighting series, and Cono integrate literal references from architectural elements, Etruscan artifact, or forms in nature, respectively.

“In Repose” is a culmination of Soft Witness’ mission: Personal reflections transcribed as contributions––lighting, furniture, object heirlooms–– to offer enduring story, beauty, and function within the home.
