It’s my first visit back to Tokyo since the pandemic and what a cathartic experience it has been. The familiarity of this buzzing metropolis has not changed. Ascending to the 51st floor of the impressive Andaz hotel in Toranomon Hills, I am met with the polite head nods and crisp efficiency that we’ve come to expect from this incredible culture.
When I meet Sabina Belli, CEO of Pomellato, the next day for a chat during a press trip for the brand’s exhibition, my very first question is, “Why Tokyo?” Belli responds: “I adore Japan. We decided to bring Pomellato here because Italian culture and our expressions of jewellery design resonate so closely with Japan. There’s an appreciation for Milanese elegance, and of La Gioia, our high jewellery. The exhibition is a journey that travels around di“ erent segments and areas, each telling a piece of the Pomellato story linked to one product, and one very symbolic piece of Italian jewellery and design.” I take a walk around Tokyo Jing, the event space that Pomellato has devoted to the exhibition called “From Milan to Tokyo Exhibition: A Journey Through Craftsmanship, Creativity and Design”.
