Nilufar Gallery participates to NOMAD St Moritz with an unusual installation enriching the interdisciplinary dialogue promoted by the fair through experimentations of various styles, techniques and materials: a medley of vintage and contemporary works alongside the gallery’s new talents’ creations. The founder of Nilufar Gallery, Nina Yashar, exhibits an environment carefully designed to dialogue with the remarkable location of the Hotel Grace La Margna framed by the snowy Alps landscape. The combination of pieces speaks of visions and expressions of contemporary living in a continuous exchange of ideas between art, design and architecture.

“Movement defines my research for talents, a value shared with the itinerant nature of Nomad. The environment we are presenting at this edition celebrates an understanding of design as an opportunity for voices and ideas from all over the world to come together.” says Yashar.

At the Nomad St Moritz fair, Nilufar Gallery creates a rare parallelism with iconic pieces of Brazilian design from the second half of the 1900s and contemporary works. Martin Eisler & Carlo Hauner‘s storage cabinet, a pair of armchairs model Concha by Joaquim Tenreiro and two armchairs by Percival Lafer are juxtaposed with the hand-knotted wool rug Chromosome-P by Caturegli Formica.

The contemporary selection also features the eclectic visions of Lola Montes Schnabel, where the designer’s distinctive stylistic signature shapes numerous original pieces that define “The Nurture vs Nature Collection: Metamorphosis”. Schnabel presents a series of objects that explore and analyse the home environment in every angle. In addition, the designer Carlo Lorenzetti displays four of its creations, guided by soft lines and full volumes: two bronze table lamps, the Pup stool with charging unit, and the Alter ceramic low table. The avant-garde and organic work of emerging designer Maximilian Marchesani, the latest addition to the gallery’s contemporary portfolio, illuminates the environment.
