“Society doesn’t always ask for poetry.
Poetry isn’t something for every day.”

— Carlo Scarpa

About the Nini Collection
Named after Nini Lazzari — wife of Carlo Scarpa — this collection reflects the intimacy of material and the elegance of attention.
Pattern becomes structure. Quiet repetitions. Thoughtful hands. Form shaped by patience.
