Close up of our boiserie presented during Milan Design Week 2026.

A traditional language, reactivated.
Reconsidered through proportion, light, and texture.

Unveiled inside our Milan studio in the 5VIE district, the installation unfolds as a spatial experience, shifting between intimacy and architectural scale.

The Bedroom by david/nicolas for conceived as a microcosm, fully aligned with the designers’ poetic language while also forming part of a larger narrative.

Envisioned as a total environment, the room unfolds as a continuous, immersive landscape. Walls and ceilings are wrapped in an embroidered covering, developed in collaboration with , originating from a pattern composed of countless parallel lines. Never intersecting, these lines create a silent, almost rhythmic choreography. The room thus becomes a vibrant envelope, a living volume shaped by controlled motion and repetition.

The pattern extends to the custom carpet created with , dissolving boundaries between surfaces. A soft sky-blue background is traversed by beige lines that echo the rhythm above, blurring the distinction between floor, walls, and ceiling. The space reads as a single, continuous landscape, fluid and enveloping.

At its core, the furniture introduces a striking counterpoint. The rigorously rectilinear wooden volumes — bed, pair of bedside tables, low table, bench, armchairs, and shelf — developed as part of Nilufar Edition, establish a tension between discipline and movement. A selection of vintage pieces from Nilufar, including a mirror by Ico Parisi, a bookcase by Osvaldo Borsani, and a chandelier by Paul Evans, anchors the contemporary intervention to the gallery’s legacy without establishing hierarchies. Completing the setting are the refined textiles by Tabasso 1872, chosen as a sophisticated material accent.

The result is a dynamic composition in which movement appears crystallized within the pattern, while geometry quietly retains its rigor.

After years in the making between Italy and Lebanon, we’re proud to finally reveal this very special project.

A re-imagination of the Porsche 964 Targa, created for Assaad Raphael, Chairman and General Manager of .
This journey brought together over 30 artisans across disciplines, metal, wood, leather, and fine craftsmanship, working in close collaboration with the expert technicians of Porsche Centre Lebanon, a Porsche Classic Partner.

The project began with a simple dinner conversation and a shared desire to create something truly distinctive.
Every detail was carefully studied and thoughtfully crafted, from hand-carved teak and custom Connolly leather to engraved brass and stainless-steel accents.

A refined project shaped by complexity, craftsmanship, and deep collaboration.

A heartfelt thank you to the exceptional artisans in Lebanon and Treviso, who approached this project with care, precision, and passion from start to finish.
