Founded in 1979 by Nina Yashar, Nilufar is today one of the most influential names in the world of design. It is a hub of contemporary and historic design, serving as an important reference for collectors, institutions and design enthusiasts.
Nina Yashar’s 40-plus years of experience have contributed to making Nilufar a premier design destination. The space is characterized by an eclectic selection of unique pieces and collectible objects, including works by contemporary talents and the great masters of international design. The visionary creativity of Nina Yashar, who is able to anticipate shifts in the ever-evolving field of design, offers a modern, multicultural outlook mixing an array of aesthetics and styles not limited to specific time periods or geographical areas.
The evolution of the Nilufar gallery, situated in the charming pedestrian lane of Via della Spiga in Milan, has seen the project expand in exciting directions. In 2015, a 1,500-sqm exhibition space inspired by the La Scala opera house was inaugurated in the city. This second site complements the original venue, hosting exhibits exploring design narratives and presenting contemporary limited edition pieces alongside iconic works from the 20th century.
Each year, Nilufar’s venues attract an international audience of architects, designers,
curators, interior decorators, journalists as well as prominent figures from the world of fashion. In recent years, Nilufar has become a must stop during Milan Design Week, when it typically receives over 5,000 guests at its two locations. The gallery offers captivating content on a daily basis.
