Last spring, Nichetto Studio launched their latest furniture collection created for De La Espada –

design pieces where colour and shape weren't considered separately, but rather as two integral

parts of a single unique project.

The starting point for the definition of the colour palettes was the Herbarium, an extensive

research project by Massimo Gardone on natural elements such as flowers and leaves. The

multiple variations of hues where extracted with the help of the small colour scanner –

Colourpin by NCS. Using the logic of Natural Colour System (NCS), Nichetto Studio then

pinpointed harmonious colour areas before dividing them into three tonalities; warm, cold

and neutral.

Being inspired by the colours of nature where fabric, stone, wood and lacquer surfaces were used,

Nichetto Studio created a collection where all pieces could be combined freely. Letting colour

and material play a major role, rather than a contemporary trend or even shape.
