A captivating environment where forms, materials, and colors merge in a harmonious dialogue between design and nature.
The area dedicated to Etereo is defined by a scenographic setting, enclosed by sinuous curved walls made of layered semi-transparent fabric in shades of green and blue – the dominant hues of the ‘Faraglioni’ collection.
Produced exclusively for Nilufar, the limited-edition collection was born from the desire to bring the majesty of the sea into an enclosed space. It includes a centerpiece table, a dining table, a coffee table, and two consoles – all one-of-a-kind pieces that embody the essence of Italian design.
At Nilufar Depot, a play of transparencies and depths will welcome visitors, guiding them through a unique sensory journey. At the heart of the space, the main protagonists will be the console and the monumental Faraglioni table, emblematic examples of Etereo’s craftsmanship and material experimentation. The table’s sturdy bronze legs evoke the iconic rock formations, supporting glass tops that, once fused, are shaped to achieve a fluid consistency. The texture, inspired by sea foam, adds depth and movement, echoing the eternal dance of waves on the shoreline – a tribute to the Faraglioni of Capri, a timeless symbol of beauty and strength.

About
Nilufar Gallery
Discovering, Crossing, Creating. Nina Yashar believes in valuing design to tell stories. She founded Nilufar Gallery in Milan in 1979. Originally located in via Bigli and specialized in antique carpets, a passion she inherited from her Iranian parents, the Gallery soon launched a series of pioneering shows, including “La rosa nel tappeto” (The rose on the carpet) – a study on the iconography of the rose motif in rugs from all around the world – while bringing both Oriental and European carpets, such as Kilim, Gabbeh and Aubusson varieties, into the Italian and international spotlight. By the end of the Nineties, the Gallery, now located in via della Spiga, ventured into modern and contemporary furniture, showcasing the work of midcentury masters alongside unusual carpets, cutting-edge furniture and emerging designers’ pieces. In 1999, the Gallery expanded its headquarters in via della Spiga with a project lead by Italian designer Gian Carlo Montebello. The first decade of the new century witnessed a series of experimentations and contamination which strengthened the Gallery’s reputation of a reference point to historical and contemporary design lovers.
