NOMAD and Giorgio Armani met in New York for an intimate conversation anticipating the second chapter of Giorgio Armani / Unveiled, set to unfold at NOMAD Hamptons this June.

To mark the occasion, Giorgio Armani hosted a private dinner at its New York restaurant, bringing together designers, philanthropists, gallerists, publicists and collectors for an evening of exchange and shared perspectives.

Conceived as a curatorial platform dedicated to emerging artists, Giorgio Armani / Unveiled continues to explore the intersection of art, design and contemporary culture through the refined lens of the Armani universe.

This June, NOMAD Hamptons will welcome the project’s next chapter at The Watermill Center, extending a dialogue shaped by creativity, place and cultural encounter.

A beautiful memory from NOMAD St. Moritz.

Capolago, Maloja — inside a former barn transformed into a private artist studio by Kueng Caputo in collaboration with Alder Clavuot Nunzi Architekten.

A place where architecture does not simply frame the landscape, but seems to listen to it. The lake becomes the quiet protagonist, while the interiors unfold with a rare sense of intimacy, precision, and freedom.

Originally conceived as a private commission, the project brings together client, artists, and architects in a dialogue where domesticity, craft, and creation meet. A former stable becomes an atelier: a space for living, working, observing, and letting the surrounding landscape enter the room.
