The historic Libreria Bocca in Milan, founded way back in 1775, is celebrating an extraordinary milestone this year: 250 years of activity. A quarter of a millennium dedicated to culture, art and literature, a point of reference for lovers of knowledge and intellectuals of all ages. To celebrate this important anniversary, Libreria Bocca has entered into an exceptional collaboration with Lebole Maison, a renowned name in the world of interior design, known for its refined and art-filled creations.

This collaboration is not just a marriage between furniture and literature, but a dialogue between two realities united by a love of elegance, tradition and artistic innovation.

A meeting of fashion, art and history

The collaboration between Lebole Maison and Libreria Bocca represents a perfect synergy between two worlds: that of design and that of culture. For over two centuries, Libreria Bocca has been one of the bastions of culture in Milan and located in the prestigious Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, it has seen artists, writers and intellectuals of every era pass through it. Lebole Maison, for its part, is known for its attention to detail and for its ability to create jewels that tell stories, enriched with a symbolic value.

To celebrate 250 years of activity, Lebole Maison has decided to pay homage to the bookshop with an exclusive jewel: a The Circle Dedicato earring.

The Circle dedicated: an artistic tribute to Libreria Bocca

The name The Circle has a double meaning, linked both to the shape and to the philosophy behind the collection. The earrings are made using tinplate champagne capsules, which are transformed into precious art objects. This choice underlines the importance of the reuse cycle and sustainability, increasingly relevant themes also in the world of fashion. The capsule, a symbol of celebration and special moments, is brought back to life with a new purpose: to become a design accessory full of history and meaning.

Similarly, Libreria Bocca has embodied a continuous cycle of culture and knowledge for 250 years. Just as champagne capsules are reused to create something new, the bookshop, throughout its centuries of activity, has been able to regenerate and reinvent itself, keeping its cultural and artistic mission alive.

The choice of images related to the bookshop's anniversary printed on the earrings adds another layer of meaning: each piece becomes a witness to Libreria Bocca's cultural journey, and the importance of continuing to renew oneself while maintaining one's roots firmly in the past.

Earring details

Left side: The first earring design features a lively number "250", accompanied by the Libreria Bocca logo and the words "dal 1775", symbolizing the long history of this institution. The warm and dynamic shades of red and yellow, mixed with blue, represent the energy and continuity of the bookstore as a cultural hub.
Right side: The other earring shows an image of the bookstore itself, captured with a panoramic view that encompasses the interior full of books, offering a suggestive and immersive perspective. This representation is a tribute to the importance of the physical place, which for centuries has hosted works of art and literature, creating a timeless atmosphere.

Both earrings are embellished with natural stones, which add a touch of refinement and classicism to the modern design.

These earrings are a tribute to the history, evolution and longevity of the bookstore, but at the same time they embrace modernity, thanks to the bold design and the combination of contemporary and classic elements.
