This event wants to show that the traditional Roma crafts have multiple facets and the items created are capable to bring balance between the old and the new.
Glimpt studio designed a series of original Home Deco products, brought to life by Roma craftsmen and through which they can take into the future their traditions and their cultural traits.
The wicker weaving craft is one example. These simple objects were transformed in modern items by giving them a new use and a novel look.
