Draga & Aurel unveil The Candy Box, their new colourful capsule collection for Nilufar Depot unveiled at Milan Design Week. Loosely inspired by the world of candy and joyful imagery, the collection comprises three pieces made entirely of coloured cast resin. A play of shades, lights and transparencies will delight the greediest palates and the most discerning eye.

“Having Nina visit our atelier in Como seemed like an extraordinary thing: we were very excited and curious. She moved around following her internal guide, stopping at specific objects and coloured samples,” said Draga Obradovic and Aurel K. Basedow. “She started playing with the existing resin forms, mixing them, removing the bases, stacking the tops of the tables. We immediately felt free to play with her and a strong creative complicity: we had fun assembling and disassembling the samples, leading to new intuitions. This is how the new Candy Box collection was born, from this visit, without us even realising it.”

The collection’s three pieces—Bon Bon modular coffee tables, the PY night table and the Caramel suspension lamps—are all handmade in Draga & Aurel in their atelier in Como, with each piece being unique. Cast resin is blended with colours to create different shades and then poured into moulds specifically made for products to realise their final shape.
