'NILUFAR GRAND HOTEL'

Viale Lancetti, 34

‍

Nilufar Grand Hotel is an immersive project at Nilufar Depot that reinterprets hospitality through the lens of collectible design. Conceived as a fictional luxury hotel beyond time and space, the exhibition places objects at the center of a curated spatial narrative, featuring four signature bedrooms by david/nicolas, Filippo Carandini, Allegra Hicks and Bethan Laura Wood, alongside new works by Andrea Mancuso, Maximilian Marchesani and Christian Pellizzari. Within this context, new established and emerging designers make their debut at Depot, such as Von Pelt Atelier and Derin Beren Yalcin. More than an exhibition, the project continues Nilufar’s exploration of design as a cultural and expressive practice, where hospitality becomes a platform for experimentation and dialogue.
In addition, Nilufar marks an unprecedented participation at the inaugural edition of Salone Raritas, the new Salone del Mobile initiative dedicated to collectible design and exceptional craftsmanship.

'LA CASA MAGICA. Forms of Re-enchantment, Symbols, Beliefs, and Archetypes of the Domestic.'

Via della Spiga, 32

‍

Before being functional, the house is a symbolic and protective space where intimacy, tradition, and belief meet. La Casa Magica restores this dimension, presenting the home as a ritual place and a device for meaning and protection. The exhibition, curated by Valentina Ciuffi (Studio Vedèt) with a set up by space caviar, features design objects from diverse cultures that engage with ritual, belief, and archetypes of the house. These objects tell stories and act as contemporary magical devices, re-enchanting inhabited spaces. Ultimately, the project reflects on the human need to “believe,” turning everyday objects into active talismans rooted in stories and legends. Among the featured designers are Christian Pellizzari, David Aliperti, Etienne Marc and many others.

For the occasion, Buccellati unveils an extension of the Caviar collection, originally conceived in the 1930s, introducing a new family of flatware.
