The brand has designed an enveloping, organic architecture, where the geometry of edges gives way to soft volumes. Corners transform into curves that embrace and soften everyday living, color shades are subtle and relaxing, and lights are sparse, like in a desert landscape. The internal spaces flow fluidly, without interruptions, offering visual glimpses from every perspective. Conceived with a dynamic nature, the environments are large, where emptiness is not the absence of things but time to stay. Even from the outside, it is possible to seek a view of these spaces through the openings of a wall with metal tesserae, reminiscent of the intricate Mediterranean “jalousies,” fascinating decorative screens that promote the passage of light and allow the house to “breathe.”
Visionnaire’s twentieth anniversary is a moment of celebration, a time to reflect on the journey taken, formulate new intentions and values and visions for the future. Visionnaire’s “Nomad” collection is the result of the encounter of different creative worlds that have collaborated with the brand over the years, such as Alessandro La Spada, Mauro Lipparini, Marco Piva, Draga&Aurel, Studiopepe and m2atelier. There are new visions of artists capable of interpreting Visionnaire’s art-design DNA, such as Matteo Cibic, Naqsh collective, CaCO3, Michele Astolfi, Gupica, and Hagit Pincovici.
A sculptural wall displays a fascinating blend of art and design. With the patagonia vitrum, on one side with its natural beauty, while on the other, the wall becomes the stage for an extraordinary mural, Shawl AlNada, created by Naqsh collective in a first collaboration with Visionnaire. This imposing work, which is nearly 4 meters in length, is a carved wooden panel with engravings and three-dimensional symbols, enriched by the insertion of brass elements, providing exceptional visual depth and inviting the observer to explore every detail.
The design objects seem to dance with the architecture. Alessandro La Spada’s Babylon Circle sofa follows the organic lines of the walls and develops the seat in a soft curve. An evolution of the Babylon Rack, this sofa combines geometric rigor – expressed in a back defined by full and empty volumes – with the softness of its curved and slender seat.
Mauro Lipparini’s Villa D’Este kitchen also displays organic angles and celebrates the aggregative dimension of living, not only within one’s family group but towards the external world as a gesture of contamination and transformation, in the symbolic space par excellence of metamorphosis.
Alessandro La Spada’s secret wall, Duncan, is a true architectural treasure. On one occasion, it reveals the presence of a kitchen inside, making this space unique yet functional. In a second nocturnal environment, the wall transforms, revealing – behind the sophisticated wooden surface – the new Eidos walk-in closet by Fabio Bonfà, created with a lightweight structure in metal and ribbed glass. The unexpected presence of this space behind the “secret wall” adds a touch of wonder and amazement to the journey.
The hybridization of living functions emerges as a central theme, the bedroom, in particular, transforms into a dynamic space that welcomes new contexts dedicated to daily rituals of body care, massages, and fitness activities. Marco Piva creates a wellness unit that resembles an architectural composition of rounded volumes. Tharis, indeed, develops around a monolithic cylindrical marble sink, serving as the pivot for the entire linear and slender shelf, much like the large mirrors.
The livingroom coexists with office spaces. Here, Fabio Bonfà’s new upholstered Boid Sofa- characterized by a linear wooden structure outlining the perimeters of the upholstered volumes – coexists with the Genesis bookcase in burl and glass, housing an artistic niche that showcases the Venus Veiled sculpture.
Studiopepe, designers of the “L’impero dei sensi” project, continue to develope the Blanches mirror line. It is characterized by the insertion of hand-engraved symbols on the surface and concealed by a curtain of thin strips of leather. Once again, the discovery: to view the designs and consequently see oneself in the mirror, one must move the fringes by caressing them, an act of kindness but at the same time of voluptuousness that implies the use of two senses, sight and touch. The third and new mirror, titled Sun-Moon, explores the harmonious balance and cyclic alternation between the shining daytime star and the mysterious nighttime planet. The designers expand the capsule with the creation of the soft and sinuous Fedro chaise longue, thus inviting relaxation reminiscent of the enveloping forms of ancient triclinia.
Like a decorative canvas, the new Muse screen – created by Draga&Aurel – Aurel’s painting is composed and decomposed: the layering, dear to the artist in his creative process, is entrusted to a game of printed organza that in movement seems to reproduce the gesture of painting.
In the context of collectible design, the Nubia console emerges as the fruit of Hagit Pinconvici’s creative vision. Its monolithic structure evokes a contemporary totem, elevating itself to a true sculpture with the addition of a luminous body on the elegant patagonia marble top. Similarly, Matteo Cibic’s Siona bar cabinet enhances the singularity of curved forms and sinuous volumes through the skillful combination of materials such as brushed metal and lacquered wood.
The communication project by Visionnaire for its Nomad collection explores the new visual language of AI. The project was realized in collaboration with the creative agency Golab, with whom the brand had already begun to explore the horizons of digital art through the NFT project ‘Apollo Belvedere.’
The artist Fullscream, a storyteller and visual explorer, and part of Golab’s pioneering AI Vision Lab, navigates the vast possibilities of digital art for Nomad with a keen eye on emotions and narrative. It is time now to explore Visionnaire’s NOMAD Collection that showcases the evolution of the brand’s 20 year journey as a leader in the Global Design arena.
