During the Milano Design Week 2018, Nina Yashar presented the museum exhibition "Lina Bo Bardi Giancarlo Palanti – Studio d’Arte Palma 1948-1951" at Nilufar Depot. A total tribute, articulated across an exhibition design inspired by the Church of Espirito Santo do Cerrado, that gathered the highest number of pieces by Lina Bo Bardi ever exhibited in one place.
During the years, Nina Yashar managed to acquire an example of almost every piece ever designed by Bo Bardi, and she considered this exhibition the most important of her four-decade career as gallerist. “This represents the peak of collecting,” she argued, “the cutting edge.”
The exhibition, realized with the patronage and scientific collaboration of the Instituto Bardi / Casa de Vidro of São Paulo, was the result of a deep historiographic research, that also lead to the discovery of the figure of Giancarlo Palanti. As a matter of fact, the collaboration between Nilufar and the Institute allowed the exploration of unknown aspects of history, up to some unsettling discoveries, even for the Institute itself. In fact, some of the most famous furnishings attributed to Bo Bardi were actually signed together with Giancarlo Palanti, who worked closely with Bo Bardi in Studio d’Arte Palma, the studio they co-founded in São Paulo in 1948.
