LA PRAIRIE AND MARIO BOTTA

The striking result of La Prairie’s collaboration with Mario Botta was first unveiled at the 2018 edition of  Art Basel in Miami Beach, as part of La Prairie’s continuing partnership with the world’s leading art fair. Mr Botta’s stirring construction, at once a sculpture and a structure, combines the Bauhaus codes - so closely associated with La Prairie's own design aesthetic. The result? A completely singular, uncommon, and enveloping experience; one that underscores the very origins of life itself.
