Vikram Goyal x Nilufar Design Week

Vikram Goyal Studio participated at ‘Time Traveler’, a wide-ranging exhibition curated by Nilufar founder Nina Yashar aimed at exploring the complex story of design and its evolution over the years. Hosted in Viale Lancetti and Via Spiga, the ‘Time Traveler’ exhibit allows visitors to embark on a journey where each exhibited work acts as a portal to transport viewers from past inspirations to the bold visions of today. The keen, curatorial eye of Nina Yashar, known for her gift of intermixing vintage design treasures and contemporary masterpieces, is forever present in the selection set forth by Nilufar. The exhibition stands as a testament to this legacy and offers us the opportunity to rediscover the intrinsic connections that unite humanity across continents, cultures and creative expressions. As we contemplate these works, we are reminded of the enduring power of design to encapsulate the essence of society, customs and the human spirit. Nilufar invites us to ponder the passage of time where the echoes of yesterday harmonize with the promise of tomorrow, unveiling the infinite possibilities inherent in design.


Pieces presented:

Archimedes’ Chandelier is both lighting and sculpture with a dramatic, dynamic foundation. Created by the measured manipulation of brass, hollow forms of metal are twisted into a seemingly infinite loop.

Thar (Bar Cabinet), ripples of cut brass resembling the dunes of the Thar desert flow across this modern bar cabinet. Each facet of the cabinet’s mosaic surface is cut from a sheet of hammered brass joined together and shaped along the curves of the framework.

Golden Arc, a solid console, a bench and a seat in patinated gold finish. These represent a new language for the studio, and have an architectural quality explored through intersecting surfaces, arches and columns.

Picasso’s Quartet, one of four striking wall sconces and sculpture in a patinated gold finish featuring layers of intersecting geometric shapes inspired by Cubism.
