Aura, designed in Italy by Nicola Gallizia for Molteni, is an exquisite rug produced in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. The combination of vegetable silk and wool creates glossy and matte effects that elegantly interact with light, resulting in a refined and subtle monochromatic finish. Nicola Gallizia, an architect trained at the Polytechnic University of Milan, has had a notable impact on Molteni’s product design and image since 1990, holding the artistic direction since 2003. His work has encompassed the conceptualization of catalogs, the assembly of exhibition stands, and the design of flagship stores, consolidating his role as an advisor in product development and brand image.
