Located in the northern part of the city, the Depot is a 1,500-square-meter former silverware factory transformed by architect Massimiliano Locatelli.

Yashar curates a selection of avant-garde furniture to interact with Italy\u2019s finest porcelain, creating a highly visual and opulent installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Nilufar x GUBI (Bagni Misteriosi)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Bagni Misteriosi<\/strong> is one of Milan\u2019s most beautiful historic swimming pools. Here, Nilufar brings a touch of vintage Mediterranean glamour to the Nordic aesthetics of <strong>GUBI<\/strong>, creating an unforgettable outdoor furniture installation right by the water\u2019s edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.

Audrey Large at Dropcity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>French designer <strong>Audrey Large<\/strong> is one of Yashar\u2019s most exciting prot\u00e9g\u00e9es. Known for 3D-printed pieces that look like digital glitches rendered in physical form, her work will not only be at the Depot but also in a stark, concrete pop-up installation within the industrial tunnels of <strong>Dropcity<\/strong> (Central Station).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Insider Survival Tips for the Nilufar Circuit<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\n<strong>Plan the Journey to the Depot:<\/strong> The Nilufar Depot is located outside the main Brera circuit (Viale Lancetti). Plan your trip using the <strong>M3 (Yellow) Metro line<\/strong> to the <em>Maciachini<\/em> station, or take an Uber. It is entirely worth the detour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n<strong>Access and Registration:<\/strong> During the day, the Depot generally accepts the digital <strong>Fuorisalone ID<\/strong> for entry. However, evening cocktail events are strictly RSVP or invite-only.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n<strong>The Secret \u201cL\u2019Appartamento\u201d:<\/strong> Yashar frequently furnishes a secret, historic apartment in Milan to showcase how her collectible pieces live in a real domestic setting.
