Nilufar [100] Design Selections - Christie's Italy
8 – 29 July 2020
Christie’s Italy is nearing the end its first-ever online-only sale, Nilufar [100] Design Selections.
Bidding continues through 29 July. The auction features one hundred carefully chosen examples of furniture, lighting, textiles and objects, curated by Nina Yashar together with Christie’s. For nearly a quarter of a century, Nina’s Milan-based gallery has exhibited on international platforms to promote her highly personalised yet inclusive attitude towards design and craft from all nations and eras. This selection reveals works from the 1950s to the contemporary, by creators both established and emerging, and across a broad range of medium – yet all united by Nina’s unswerving pursuit of style, elegance and innovation in design.
In line with new stylistic choices from the gallery, with a focus on contemporary and experimental design, as well as on unique historical pieces, Nina Yashar has selected pieces that showcase Nilufar's debut in Mid-Century international design, including works by Gio Ponti, Tobia Scarpa, Luigi Caccia Dominioni, Bruno Mathsson, Alvar Aalto, together with iconic contemporary projects by beloved designers such as Martino Gamper, Michael Anastassiades, Osanna Visconti and Marsica Fossati.
