Acqua di Parma journeys to the Italian Dolomites for its Holiday 2025 collection, named Antelao, after one of the region’s iconic peaks. The visual direction, driven by architect and designer Cristina Celestino, reinterprets traditional alpine craftsmanship, specifically hammering and brushed finishes, and transposes them onto ceramic vessels. This creative vision, which features graphic packaging with hammered and brushed gold effects, elevates the festive countdown through the Maison's offerings.
The signature Advent Calendar transforms the festive countdown into a ritual of daily discovery, curated with gifts from the timeless elegance of Colonia to the artistic compositions of Signatures of the Sun. For the ultimate luxury offering, the Alpine Holiday Advent Calendar is a collector’s masterpiece, handmade in Italy and crafted in opulent white bouclé fabric with a calfskin leather interior. Accompanying this is the Alpine Holiday Chess Set, which features 32 handcrafted pieces and a board made from Canaletto walnut and cherry wood. This design splendour is finished with hidden fragrance vials within the King, Queen, and Bishop pieces.
