The first in Nilufar’s series of six shows that present different bodies of work from Studio Nucleo, “It’s All About Colour” unveils pastel-hued renditions of the Turin-based design collective’s celebrated Primitive collection, a geometric furniture series that overlaps handmade resin-finished cubes to create a pixelated effect. Consisting of a floor lamp, pendant, sofa, armchair, and dining table that were previously only available in all-white, the collection draws inspiration from Le Corbusier and the Russian artists Wassily Kandinsky and Kazimir Malevich. “The return to structure is a 20th-century leitmotiv,” says Studio Nucleo. “The art is free from enslavement to the subject, able to translate the motions of the human soul with pure color or pure form.”
