“I was dreaming of a huge space, but I never thought it would be so huge. It was designed as a warehouse with an almost industrial architecture, like the detachable railings to let the forklift in. Initially it was supposed to be a simple storage area, as my current warehouse is 100 km away from Milan. Then, making the setup for the last Salone del Mobile, it was so successful that I was forbidden to use it just as a warehouse. Every day we receive people coming here just to visit us. In other words, a great responsibility.” – Nina Yashar
