Nanda Vigo\u2019s work was retro-futuristic \u2013 objects, lamps, sculptures and interiors that seem to inhabit the space around them like creatures from another world. The artist and designer, who passed away last week in Milan, has seen particular public recognition in recent years, with awards and solo exhibitions in Russia...
Vigo studied architecture at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and straight after graduating, while still very young, she moved to the United States – she was drawn in by the idea of studying under Frank Lloyd Wright. Vigo lasted less than a month in his atelier in Taliesin West, before moving on to San Francisco, but found that the design environment there didn’t suit her.
Many of Vigo’s other pioneering projects that are no longer in existence such as the Zero House, the Blue House, the Yellow House and the Black House – designed between the 1960s and 1970s for clients with a passion for art – were spaces articulated by paintings, reflective surfaces, transparent glass panels and lights.
