For its ninth appearance at Salone del Mobile, the Spanish label turns its attention to a single, quietly iconic household object: the teapot. From April 7 to 13, LOEWE will take over Milan’s Palazzo Citterio with a presentation of 25 one-of-a-kind teapots, each conceived by an international lineup of artists, designers, and architects.

Inside the space, familiar materials like porcelain, stoneware, leather, and copper are reworked in unexpected ways. Rose Wylie plays with proportions, turning a classic Royal Albert-style teapot into something bold and exaggerated. Jane Yang-D’Haene stretches her teapot tall and wraps it in delicate clay ribbons. Akio Niisato covers his porcelain piece with tiny holes that let light shine through, while Takayuki Sakiyama shapes his from a single coil that spirals like a natural formation. Simone Fattal and Shozo Michikawa add woven leather handles to their designs, and David Chipperfield contrasts the deep blue glaze with a bold copper handle. Others, like Lu Bin and Madoda Fani, leave their teapots unglazed, using red clay that’s raw, textured, and meant to take on the flavor of the tea over time.

The exhibition also debuts a range of limited-edition pieces available exclusively during Salone, including woven-leather coasters, hand-crocheted tea covers, and botanical charms shaped like chamomile flowers, strawberries, and even dangling tea bags. The label is also unveiling teapots made from Galician clay, offered in raw, silver, or gold finishes inspired by the ceramic tiles that line CASA LOEWE storefronts.

A special-edition Earl Grey candle, poured into a gold-brushed terracotta vessel, adds to the brand’s expanding scent portfolio. In collaboration with historic Kyoto workshop Kaikado, LOEWE has also created a series of tin-plated tea caddies, each topped with tiny brass and leather details in the shape of rabbits, flowers, and mice. The largest version includes a custom woven-leather case. Like the rest of the collection, it will be available exclusively at Palazzo Citterio throughout the week.

For those who prefer to sip the story, the house brings back its signature Fiori e Sapori tea blend, crafted in collaboration with London’s Postcard Teas. Infused with black Indian leaves, French lemon verbena, Moroccan rose, Croatian chamomile, and Calabrian bergamot oil, the blend distills the essence of early spring. It will be available through Postcard Teas the same week the exhibition opens, offering a final fragrant takeaway from the world of LOEWE.
