In the heart of Milan, amid the vibrant energy of Design Week 2025, designer Federica Bonifaci welcomes visitors into her intimate showroom at Foro Buonaparte 56 until April 13th for a collaborative celebration of craftsmanship, cultural identity, and storytelling through textiles. Partnering with Sean McNanney of SAVED NY, the exhibition marks the debut of the brand’s collaboration with NOMAD HOME, unveiling a series of handmade rugs that stand as testaments to time-honored techniques and cross-cultural creativity.
More than a showcase, this gathering becomes a conversation—one that stitches together Mongolian cashmere capes by Bonifaci, Turkish yorgans crafted by master artisans, and sustainable Afghan rugs created through NOMAD HOME’s community initiatives. Short films document the artisanal processes behind each piece, offering insight into the hands and heritage shaping these timeless objects.
Known for her architectural background and refined silhouettes, Federica Bonifaci’s genderless designs channel expressive individuality, rooted in sustainability and craftsmanship. Her sculptural cashmere cloaks mirror the essence of the textiles on display: meaningful, durable, and deeply personal. Meanwhile, SAVED NY’s commitment to luxury fused with social responsibility echoes throughout the space, elevating the artistry of nomadic traditions through a contemporary lens.
From Mongolian steppes to Ottoman legacies, the exhibition threads together a rich narrative—one where fabric is more than material; it is memory, culture, and voice. A must-see activation during this year’s Milan Design Week, it reminds us that design, when rooted in authenticity, transcends trends and borders.
