A surprising showroom has just been opened in a former sculptor’s studio. Ventaqua is a new venture undertaken by a couple of Italians : Sergio Azzellino and Francesca Vittoria Manola. In these premises of 200 m2, it brings together the cream of a generation of designers without frontiers, belonging to post-industrial “artesign”. “Small productions, limited collections and one-off pieces, projects in which you can still see the concept, the desire and freedom to invent design !” 3 rue Niepce, Nice (09 64 04 99 06 and www.ventaqua.com).
