Trakatan for Palazzo Madama: A Journey Behind the Scenes

The creative process behind the exclusive collection designed by Trakatan for the bookstore of Palazzo Madama offers a fascinating glimpse into the intersection of craftsmanship, sustainability, and artistic collaboration. This limited-edition collection, featuring backpacks, shoppers, notebooks, and keychains, stands out for its dedication to both environmental responsibility and artistic expression.
Each item is handcrafted in Trakatan’s workshop, utilizing repurposed advertising banners from previous exhibitions and paper scraps sourced from the renowned Arti Grafiche Parini print shop. Materials that might otherwise have been discarded are transformed into unique, eco-conscious products that encapsulate the spirit of both art and sustainability.
The project represents a collaborative effort between Trakatan and Palazzo Madama, driven by a shared vision of promoting cultural heritage while embracing a more sustainable future. By reimagining unused materials, the collection blends aesthetic beauty with a sense of purpose, where creativity and environmental awareness come together seamlessly.
This partnership highlights the importance of ethical choices in design, as well as the preservation of traditional craftsmanship. The mix of materials and creative energy in this collection not only emphasizes sustainability but also celebrates the enduring value of artisanal skills.
Available exclusively at the Palazzo Madama bookstore, these creations serve as a reminder that art and sustainability can coexist harmoniously, inspiring future collaborations with the same values.
