VANNI #artistroom
Prize

VANNI occhiali, the Torino-based brand of creative eyewear, confirms its support for Artissima which began in 2019 with the capsule collection by Cristian Chironi and presents the fifth edition of the VANNI occhiali #artistroom Prize, continuing its exploration of the possible cross pollination between contemporary art and eyewear design. Inside the fair, the prize sets out to select the artist – thanks to a jury of multi-sectorial experts – whose research offers an original perspective on reality, triggering an unexpected and surprising gaze, like looking through a lens. The winner, besides receiving a cash prize of 2,500 euros, will have the opportunity to collaborate on the design of a capsule collection of artist’s eyewear, produced in a limited edition. The new capsule collection designed by the 2024 prize winner, Nicola Bizzarri (presented by Fuocherello, Volvera), will be unveiled during Artissima 2025 at the VANNI showroom in Piazza Carlina, Torino.

In 2024, the prize was awarded to Nicola Bizzarri (presented by the gallery Fuocherello, Volvera).
