Milan Design Week: A New Breed

To coincide with Salone del Mobile, 1stdibs traveled to Milan to install “A New Breed,” a special exhibition of fresh designs made by our growing family of contemporary creators. Arranged throughout a classical Milanese villa are new and custom pieces from nearly 30 artists, makers and dealers, including Anna Karlin, Bec Brittain, Ben Medansky, Egg Collective, Ben and Aja Blanc, Mimi Jung, Jonathan Nesci, Fferrone, EWE Studio and Dougall Paulson. “We decided to show these pieces to say that we were actively playing in the contemporary-design category,” says Cristina Miller, 1stdibs’ chief commercial officer. “This category is about elevating young designers that our audience might not know.” “A New Breed” is on view April 17 and 18 at Piazza San Sepolcro, 2. Those who are unable to attend the Milan show can purchase these highly covetable objects exclusively right here.

Mexican Onyx Stone and Brass UÑA Side Coffee Table Design by Nomade Atelier
By Nomade Atelier
Located in Mexico City, CDMX
The UÑA table is fable, mythology and design blended together. The striking contrast between the stone’s solid weight and the apparent frailty of its legs make for a most intriguing game of tension and levity. The name derived from the Greek word onyx, which means that: nail. The myth tells that Venus gave his son Cupid bow and golden arrows; the arrows were of two kinds: those that had a golden tip for love, while the others were lead, to keep oblivion and ingratitude in the hearts. One day, Cupid cut the divine nails of Venus with an arrow while she slept. He left the clippings scattered on the sand and the Gods of Destiny turned them into stone, so that no part of the divine body would ever die. The onyx and its mythology inspired us to create a dialectic on full and empty planes: a pair of mineral cuts in balance and constant play between the unique beauty of the material and the invisibility or apparent fragility of its support, whose thin lines suggest lightness and seriousness at intervals, just like the characters that inspire his name. This limestone rock...
