The Metaphysics of Everyday Life - Nanda Vigo's Interior Design

The Milanese architect and designer Nanda Vigo (1934-2022) is famous for her installations and environments as well as her designs for companies such as Kartell and Driade. Her approach culminated in expressive interior design projects in neon, plush, and mirrored surfaces. This publication presents her lesser-known work in the context of the Milan design scene through archival documents, essays, unpublished drawings and photographs.
