Nicolò Taliani's Nita Brand Merges Jewelry, Art, and Design

Nicolò Taliani, hailing from Vienna, launched Nita, a brand that beautifully combines jewelry, art, and design. His journey began with his 2003 thesis at Central Saint Martins in London, titled Lampada No. 1, inspired by Edison's first lightbulb. This piece caught attention at Maison&Objet in Paris and received praise from Rossana Orlandi, later debuting at Salone del Mobile in Milan. After four years in Bratislava creating for Samsung, he collaborated with his childhood friend Christian Rosa in New York and Los Angeles, where he ventured into jewelry making. Upon returning to Italy, he studied glassworking in Venice, crafting beads and rings. His creations evolved into sculptures and masks, leading to a partnership with Kenneth Ize for a fashion event. Taliani showcased his work at Alcova during Salone del Mobile 2022, featuring a glass avatar that explored the connection between people, nature, and objects, emphasizing sustainability through natural materials and local production. Influences on his work include American modernists and artists like Franz West and Le Corbusier.
