Nanda

Nanda is a sideboard with hinged doors made of wood with a brass structure.‎ Nanda is the first piece of the Parvati storage collection, designed by Serena Confalonieri for MedulumJourney to India.‎ On the path of Parvati, Shiva’s bride and goddess of matrimony, a benevolent figure venerated by Indian women who pay homage to her by wearing precious nose rings.‎The collection - available in three different variants: Nanda, in the cabinet and chest of drawers version, the Uma sideboard – stands out for its use of woods with decisive and vivacious nuances.‎ The woodgrain catches the eye in addition to the presence of vibrant, multi-coloured textures which hark back to the psychedelic culture of the 1960s: during that period, numerous artists journeyed around India and immersed themselves in this multi-faceted and multifarious culture, mixing it back into the Western one to create musical and artistic masterpieces.‎ The compositional nature of Parvati also identifies the goddess as consort of Shiva and symbol of marital devotion: still today, Indian women pay homage to her by wearing precious gold rings on their noses, jewellery witha strong symbolic value.‎ Drawing inspiration precisely from this aspect, the collection proposed by the brand has a further common aspect, the presence of a brass feature handle: a cameo of refined distinctiveness for a collection of furnishings with a unique and unmistakeable character.‎MATERIALSTransparent varnished plywoodBrass-plated details (handle and part of the structure)10mm extra-clear tempered glass shelvesFINISHES P01red caleidolegnoP01.‎inash tree bluP01.‎outred tanganykaP02blu caleidolegnoP02.‎inash tree jellowP02.‎outblu tanganykaP03black caleidolegnoP03.‎inash tree light purpleP03.‎outblack tanganykaM3polished brassM4polished brass-plated steel
