Uma sideboard, in fabric and plywood, by Serena Confalonieri for Medulum
About the Item
Journey to India. On the path of Parvati, Shiva’s bride and goddess of matrimony, a benevolent figure
venerated by Indian women who pay homage to her by wearing precious nose rings.
The collection - available in three different variants:
Nanda, in the cabinet and chest of drawers version, the Uma sideboard – stands out for its use of woods with decisive and vivacious nuances. The woodgrain catches the eye in addition to the presence of vibrant, multi-coloured
textures which hark back to the psychedelic culture of the 1960s: during that period, numerous artists journeyed
around India and immersed themselves in this multi-faceted and multifarious culture, mixing it back into the
Western one to create musical and artistic masterpieces.
The compositional nature of Parvati also identifies the goddess as consort of Shiva and symbol of marital devoltion: still today, Indian women pay homage to her by wearing precious gold rings on their noses, jewellery with
a strong symbolic value. Drawing inspiration precisely from this aspect, the collection proposed by the brand
has a further common aspect, the presence of a brass feature handle: a cameo of refined distinctiveness for a
collection of furnishings with a unique and unmistakeable character.
The supportive legs, door hinges and doorknob, are made of polished, brass-plated metal and give this cabinet the appearance of a precious jewel.
Furnishing elements made with veneers applied to a curved plywood shell.
Parvati, the benevolent goddess of the Hindu pantheon, symbol of love, devotion and fertility. It is the Indian mythological
tradition – with its fascinating universe of cosmic creator and ruler divinities – which is the inspiration behind the Parvati
collection, a range of furniture created by Milanese designer Serena Confalonieri for MEDULUM.
Characteristic of the Parvati collection is the fabric effect essence used for the exterior which can be red, black or blue.

Medulum
An ancient river flowing in the green countryside of the Veneto hinterland, between emerged lands and swamps that have now disappeared. Medulum, one of the favourite waterways of the Venetian aristocracy of old, indispensable for reaching their country homes.
This is where our work draws its inspiration. We combine the experience of 40 years with innovative solutions, collaborating with architect and designer studios in the search and experimentation of new languages, through the craftsmanship of artisanal productions.
Medulum has been designing and making furniture and accessories by searching for and experimenting with new languages, collaborating with architects and designers, with the craftsmanship typical of artisanal productions.
The very name of the brand is both a reference and a tribute to the area: Medulum is the Latin name for the river that was the Venetian nobility’s preferred way to travel to their summer residences from Venice. And it is the landscape of the Lagoon that provides the backdrop for company owner Diego Zanchettin’s daily journey to Medulum’s headquarters.

of marriage, to whom Indian women pay homage by wearing precious gold nose rings...
