Nicole Valenti and Jacopo Candotti, give life in Florence to NJ interiors, a homemade laboratory of functional sculptures, everyday objects that combine the practical aspect with the sculptural one.

Jacopo Candotti (Blozano 1982) and Nicole Valenti (Bolzano 1984) two young artists, lifelong friends, decide to work together and create an unusual laboratory for the design and creation of "functional sculptures", that is everyday objects that unite the practical aspect to the sculptural one. This year they present the first collections of handles and knobs, the beginning of a path that will open every year to new lines of objects, to new ideas and contaminations.

NJ interiors explores shapes and materials through the medium of sculpture, finding inspiration in the world with a fresh eye and curious can transform a tropical bird, the texture of a leaf, the shape of a particular branch in original and exclusive items.

The NJ interiors laboratory was born at home, in the place most familiar to us, where we find ourselves designing and transforming an emotion, a taste, a smell, into spontaneous and refined forms. For us this project is an adventure in the universe of forms, a way of conceiving and reinventing what surrounds us, having the possibility to imagine and make a new world real. We have recently created a special line of handles made of different types of wood such as walnut and wenge that take the shape of the beak of an aquatic bird among which we have the entirely hand-painted polychrome finish. A common object such as the handle found in all of our homes can become an important piece of furniture where unexpected themes and shapes are expressed.

Each NJ interiors object is unique and entirely handmade in Italy: the intent is to provide customers with authentic and high quality products.
