Research, innovation and experimentation represent a major part of Nanda Vigo’s work, which we have chosen to include here in the form of a “materials library”.
Through a selection of raw materials extracted directly from her works or inspired by the lexicon of materials she established over time, this space offers an insight into the artist’s preferred mediums, such as glass, mirrors, metal, velvet, fur and rugs.
In order to fully experience the artist’s universe, visitors have the opportunity to try out the distinctly modernist and avant-garde Due Più chair – a tubular structure made of stainless steel with two cylinders of fur, designed by Vigo in 1971.
Our warmest thanks to Acerbis, Archivio Nanda Vigo, Barrisol, Dedar and Saint-Gobain Vitrage Bâtiment for their donations of materials and their support in setting up this space.
