Osanna Visconti: Crafting Eternal Beauty
Rome native Osanna Visconti has crafted a remarkable oeuvre utilizing time-honored materials such as bronze and ceramics which have found a home at Nilufar. The designer has created a stunning array of pieces by looking to traditional methods from the past such as the technique of lost wax casting. From her atelier in Milan, Visconti has been immortalizing the ephemeral beauty of the natural world in her designs for tableware and furnishings. Beyond her well-recognized work to draw out the beauty of bronze, she has conceived a selection of geometric ceramic vases defined by a modern simplicity. Visconti’s poetic works in bronze, which are imbued with a rich patina, are both sculptural and functional. She operates in the same vein as visionary Nilufar founder Nina Yashar, challenging the boundaries of art and design to offer a fresh and engaging perspective.
