“We were introduced to Villa Lena by our friend Julie Ho from Confettisystem, who had done a residency there,” says Nick. “She was like, ‘You have to go.’ We had wanted to go to Milan anyway to get an understanding of design week, so I emailed a woman named Olga who coordinates Villa Lena’s art programming. She loved our wallpaper, and she offered us studio space to work on a collection of marbled papers in this centuries-old villa.”
