Nilufar

Nilufar takes part in the first edition of Salone Raritas with a selection curated by Nina Yashar that reflects the founder’s vision, long oriented toward research and collectible design. On view is a refined ensemble of contemporary works by, among others, Andrea Mancuso, Filippo Carandini, Maximilian Marchesani, Bethan Laura Wood, Christian Pellizzari and Lola Montes, together with Nilufar Edition pieces designed by david/nicolas, Anna Karlin and Martino Gamper. The selection is completed by significant vintage icons by masters such as Giuseppe Scapinelli, Joaquim Tenreiro, Ico Parisi and Ignazio Gardella. The exhibition creates a harmonious dialogue across different eras, languages and geographies, resulting in a coherent and sophisticated narrative. It reveals a multifaceted vision of design, capable of intertwining experimentation, memory and innovation, fully expressing the identity and curatorial sensitivity that have long distinguished Nilufar within the international contemporary design scene.

”I’m very pleased to take part in the inaugural edition of Raritas, which I approach with great curiosity and interest. Nilufar was born from a constant desire to explore what has not yet been fully told, giving space to new languages and to objects and visions that come from different contexts and engage in dialogue without hierarchies. Raritas represents something I deeply relate to as it’s not so much a trend as an attitude, a sensibility that I believe is very important to see supported today by an institution like the Salone del Mobile. It creates a new platform dedicated to research, experimentation and vision. It is a strong signal for Milan and for the new possibilities that an opening toward collectible design can bring."
