During this year of calm celebration, the NOMAD show is back in the snow with much new-found hope and excitement. 

NOMAD St. Moritz’s 9th edition features an incredible roster of returning galleries such as London-based David Gill Gallery, Italian Galleria Rossella Colombari, Galleria Luisa Delle Piane and VOLUMNIA.

As well as new dealers from all over the world including Dimoregallery from Italy, Golsa from Norway and LeLAB Experimental Atelier from Egypt amongst others.  

Under the exquisite curatorial eye of interior designer Francis Sultana, David Gill Gallery presents a selection of works by Dutch sculptor Barbara Nanning.

Taking inspiration from nature and from Chesa Planta itself, Nanning’s vases and bowls in white, silver and granite hues reflect the landscape and milky white opal glass beautifully depicts the awakening nature in spring. 

Returning to NOMAD is VOLUMNIA , the gallery running a vigorous art and design programme and founded in 2018 by Enrica de Micheli in the Church of Sant’Agostino in Piacenza, Italy.

This year, Volumnia interprets the romantic and ornamented green room of Chesa Planta presenting a harmonious composition of design objects from the Mid-Century by the greatest design masters including Gio Ponti, Osvaldo Borsani and Giovanni Gariboldi. 

Il Lunario del Sole presented by historic Milanese design and decorative arts atelier Fornasetti is absolutely stand out.

MIDI collection by Pierre Yovanovitch – Set of four trays with coloured base 

For French fashion maison Dior, Pierre Yovanovitch has designed a collection of fourteen objects named MIDI, a terms for the south of France which reflects the bond with the region which Yovanovitch is very familiar with being born in Nice.
