From Materials to Product
JAMIERI hosts a gathering focused on the journey from material to product — spanning research and a considered approach to sustainable design.
The presentation highlights the transition from raw material to finished piece, bringing forward the processes behind each object.
Georgian flavors by Francesca, who grew up in Italy and works across design and food. From Italian custom furniture to recipe development, her practice moves between disciplines. She will present dishes inspired by traditional Georgian staples, incorporating seasonal produce.
Natural wine curated by JAMIERI KAFE, featuring Pheasant’s Tears will be served complimentary throughout the evening. Food and Aperitivo will be available for purchase.

JAMIERI SADILI SERIES
SPRING / SUMMER 2026
“Sadili” is a midday to evening moment of gathering to share food.
With the SADILI Series, we are inviting chefs/creatives into our modest kitchen for pop-up events.
Each session is an opportunity to host SADILI — to cook, bring people together, and shape the experience.
Curated sessions will take place during spring-summer.
