Soft lamps with optical fabrics, highly original furnishing accessories , dresses with precious fabrics, works of art in concrete . These are some of the elements in dialogue with each other at Nabi.Interior Design in via Chiatamone.
The space was the scene of a meeting in recent days, as part of the 14th edition of Wine and the City , between different languages of creativity, brought together to celebrate a new project and seal the synergy between the architecture and interior design studio with Angela Solla , a maison of high-end wedding dresses.
The new ambitious project is called “Nabi_Kube” and consists of a collection of fashion objects designed by Anna Palladino alongside design objects created mainly by Biancamaria Santangelo .
The themes, colours and materials used to create this collection with an eclectic and exclusive spirit will act as a common thread .
For the June event, the first models were exhibited, alongside creations by architect friends, some of which have won multiple awards and been exhibited in past editions of the Salone del Mobile.
But for 2023, the year that also marks the tenth anniversary of NABI’s foundation, the goal is to define and put into production the entire Nabi_Kube collection.

Designers and their creations from Nabi.Interior Design
Gennaro Comunale exhibited his “T-lights” , lamps made entirely by hand with graphics and colours designed to lighten even the most austere environments;
Salvo Martorana , exhibited the simple and essential design of “Luchef” , a chef’s hat that becomes a lampshade, an expression of his passion for cooking, and “Mariantonietta” , a rechargeable outdoor lamp, so called because its shape recalls that of a stylised guillotine!
Anna Fresa exhibited “Ipazia Fruit Bowl” , a design object that was born as a fruit bowl and is inspired by the elliptical orbits of the planets.
Emilia Abate Sellitti and Francesco Rotondale of Studio 74ram presented #ognunohailsuofaro , a graphic project inspired by the most difficult days in which we all look for a light that never goes out.
Sabrina Masala brought to the event the vivacity of her “Colour Coast Collection” , a wallpaper produced by Wall&deco’, a company now known throughout the world for its refined and imaginative wallpapers. Specifically, this creation is born from the reinterpretation of traditional Vietri ceramics.
Daniele Della Porta and Clara Nardiello have proposed “ALFABETILE” , a new language with which tiles, expressed in letters, create floors and coverings capable of communicating with spaces.
Nabi.Interior Design and Anna Palladino’s clothes for Angela Solla
Anna Palladino , designer of Maison Angela Solla , proposed enchanting dresses, some super finished; others just basted around the mannequin, to enhance the idea of the shape in its primary idea and the very precious fabrics with which these dresses were made.
I brought a piece of Italian tailoring history here to NABI; among the fabrics on display there is also an original fabric from Maison Valentino which I am particularly fond of because it has belonged to our family for many years.
– explains Anna Palladino
From Nabi_kube the art exhibition CEMENTO
Finally, art, with Marcello Silvestre and his CEMENT , the material through which the artist, making concrete the internal struggle of every existence, questions the memory of man through his own experience, translating it into sculpture.
Silvestre’s cement men are linear, rigorous and multifaceted corporeities, but sensitively scratched by the path of life.
The exhibition is open to the public until September 30 .
