Bulgari Showcases Artistry in the Kaleidos Exhibition Gala Dinner
On December 2, 2025, Bulgari celebrated the grand opening of its latest exhibition, "Bulgari Kaleidos: Color, Culture, and Technique," at the National Art Center in Tokyo. This event marks Bulgari's first major exhibition in Japan in a decade, featuring an impressive collection of nearly 350 dazzling pieces from the Bulgari Heritage Collection and private collections. The term "Kaleidos" is derived from Greek words meaning "beautiful" and "form," symbolizing an extraordinary journey through the ever-shifting world of color.
Among the dazzling guests at the gala dinner was acclaimed actor Kohei Shoji, who expressed his enthusiasm for the event. He remarked, "As the title suggests, this space allows us to richly enjoy the harmony of Bulgari's beauty and creativity. The exhibition pieces evoked a sense of timelessness as I wandered through them, even spotting some beloved items from iconic personalities. The jewelry, crafted from various exquisite gemstones, truly came to life. Moreover, the sensational visuals and immersive environment provided a deep and engaging connection to the Maison's history and traditions. The brooch and rings I wore were part of the iconic Serpenti collection, which added a refined touch to my overall look. The Octo watch complemented my formal style while making a bold statement, especially with its impressive case inspired by ancient Roman architecture."
