The Essence
ofTuscany
Beautifully curated artwork, donated to raise funds supporting the Tuscany Environment Foundation.
01 / The Foundation
Tuscany Environment Foundation
Tuscany Environment Foundation (TEF) is an NGO based in Tuscany, focusing on environmental conservation and protection across four main pillars: regenerative agriculture, biodiversity, marine and terrestrial ecosystem protection, and sustainable resource management.
We scout the best grassroots projects, have them evaluated by our experts, and provide both financial support and guidance to help scale their results. Through partnerships with private donors, corporations and public entities, we raise funds for Tuscan nature. TEF is an affiliate of the Conservation Collective international network.
02 / About the Exhibition
An evening among the light, land & colour of the Italian countryside.
The works on show celebrate the warmth of the Tuscan landscape, from its cypress ridgelines to its ochre fields and the long golden light of late afternoon. Every piece has been donated by the artist who made it.
For one evening the show fills Roca London Gallery, a space to wander slowly and take your time. Every sale goes straight to the Tuscany Environment Foundation and its work protecting the region for the years ahead.
03 / The Sound Experience
A spatial score by PLUMM & James Mason.
An original composition by James Mason plays quietly through the gallery, written to sit alongside the artwork and give the room its own mood. It carries the voice of singer PLUMM. This is the music you can hear right now.
04 / In Conversation
Nigel Coates in conversation with Daniel Gava.
Nigel Coates is an influential British architect, designer and author known for blending art, narrative and culture. Working between London and Montalcino, this passionate Italophile brings creativity and authenticity to his architecture and furniture designs with top Italian brands. He sits down with Daniel Gava to talk about landscape, memory and how the works on show came to be.

05 / The Venue
Roca London Gallery
The gallery sits beside the Thames at Imperial Wharf. Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, its flowing white interior takes its cue from the movement of water, with curved walls and soft pockets of light that make the building itself worth the visit.
Beyond its showroom the space has become a home for design talks, exhibitions and cultural evenings, which makes it a fitting setting for The Essence of Tuscany.
