The Foundation has supported the project "Bottoni Narranti: Tradition, Innovation, and Memory in Craftsmanship and Fashion", an integrated journey of education, culture, and innovation.
Fondazione Iris Ceramica Group supported the "Bottoni Narranti" project of the Istituto Venturi in Modena. This local initiative has combined creativity, education, and history, promoting the culture of Made in Italy through the art of ceramics applied to fashion.
Organized in collaboration with MOmenti Events and Modateca Deanna, the project offered fourth-year students from the Ceramic Design program a top-tier educational experience, blending traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology to create ceramic buttons with deep narrative value.
Buttons, in fact, are objects rich in meaning: they preserve memories, emotions, and life stories. Each button can evoke the image of a special garment or a family tradition, becoming a narrative element that bridges past and present. Through this project, students explored this evocative potential, bringing to life unique and symbolic creations capable of telling both personal and collective stories.
The project unfolded in four key phases:
Fondazione Iris Ceramica Group reaffirms its commitment to supporting initiatives that promote knowledge, talent, and the excellence of Made in Italy.
"Bottoni Narranti" represents an integrated path of education, culture, and innovation—a valuable opportunity to train future generations, rediscover historical memory, and project it into the future, strengthening the connection between art, design, and the local community.
