architecture-design · 2026-04-19

Founded in 2020 by Francesco Zorzi, Nicolò Ornaghi, and Delfino Sisto Legnani, the Milan-based brand NM3 has partnered with the luxury Italian furniture label Visionnaire to unveil a capsule collection. This collaboration showcases nine distinct pieces, such as the 'Axiom' dining table and 'Blob' stools, which integrate materials like glass, stone, wood, and metal, drawing inspiration from aeronautical design and the architecture of John Lautner. Visionnaire's art director, Eleonore Cavalli, encountered NM3 at the Artissima fair in Turin. The collection features a coffee table made of Moltrasio stone and cotissi glass, a bed constructed from Villanova stone blocks, and a lightweight 'Blob' chaise longue with an organic shape. It will debut at 10 Corso Como during Milan Design Week, alongside Visionnaire's presentation at Salone del Mobile.
