A traditional language, reactivated.
Reconsidered through proportion, light, and texture.

The Bedroom by david/nicolas for conceived as a microcosm, fully aligned with the designers’ poetic language while also forming part of a larger narrative.

Envisioned as a total environment, the room unfolds as a continuous, immersive landscape. Walls and ceilings are wrapped in an embroidered covering, developed in collaboration with , originating from a pattern composed of countless parallel lines. Never intersecting, these lines create a silent, almost rhythmic choreography. The room thus becomes a vibrant envelope, a living volume shaped by controlled motion and repetition.

The pattern extends to the custom carpet created with , dissolving boundaries between surfaces. A soft sky-blue background is traversed by beige lines that echo the rhythm above, blurring the distinction between floor, walls, and ceiling. The space reads as a single, continuous landscape, fluid and enveloping.

At its core, the furniture introduces a striking counterpoint. The rigorously rectilinear wooden volumes — bed, pair of bedside tables, low table, bench, armchairs, and shelf — developed as part of Nilufar Edition, establish a tension between discipline and movement. A selection of vintage pieces from Nilufar, including a mirror by Ico Parisi, a bookcase by Osvaldo Borsani, and a chandelier by Paul Evans, anchors the contemporary intervention to the gallery’s legacy without establishing hierarchies. Completing the setting are the refined textiles by Tabasso 1872, chosen as a sophisticated material accent.

The result is a dynamic composition in which movement appears crystallized within the pattern, while geometry quietly retains its rigor.
