A tangible testimony to the visionary curatorship of Nina Yashar, Open Edition is a collection of over 100 pieces, signed by some of the most prestigious designers associated with the Milanese gallery Nilufar. Created in bright hues and rich patterns, the line includes sofas, dining tables, rugs and lamps that redefine the very concept of functional design. Objects that were traditionally limited to limited editions or even one-off creations, which until 1 February, will be offered to the US public by the New York space The Future Perfect in the West Village.
Creative powers on the design scene, Nilufar and The Future Perfect both move at the intersection of design and art, pushing the boundaries of contemporary aesthetics. “The Open Edition was curated to ignite a vibrant exploration into the boundless realms of design possibilities,” expresses Yashar. “We are thrilled to be bringing this exhibition to The Future Perfect, which we consider to be the authority on American design. This collaboration offers a dynamic glimpse into the future of design excellence born out of a partnership from two galleries who share a passion for innovation.”
“Nina’s discerning eye and dedication to innovative design has redefined what it means to champion emergent voices, says The Future Perfect Founder David Alhadeff. “The Open Edition, with its fusion of meticulous craftsmanship and formal experimentation, is set to captivate the imagination of design enthusiasts and collectors alike, offering a glimpse into the future of design excellence. Through this partnership, we do not merely join forces — we celebrate the lasting legacy of Nilufar and The Future Perfect and our shared vision of championing boundary-pushing design, while embracing the industry’s vast frontiers.”
A new world of design innovation with product highlights that include the retro-futuristic Dualita benches and modular Orient armchairs by David/Nicolas, inspired by Middle Eastern homes to create cozy conversation areas, the versatile Unfold dining and living room sets by Milan-based Analogia Project, and the sleek Porcini coffee table series by Gal Gaon, celebrating the wonderful qualities of wood, crafted from premium natural oak or lacquered wood, and grouped together to mimic a cluster of mushrooms, which provide the inspiration for the design. Not to mention the captivating elliptical carpet by Osanna Visconti and the New Pompeii series by Filippo Carandini, featuring a hand-painted multi-tone color scheme for delightful chromatic variations.
