Supersalone, the special 2021 event with a new format under the banner of Salone del Mobile, has been gripping attention with its impressive roster of galleries and designers. Among its many highlights is a remarkable showcase by Milan-based Nilufar Gallery’s expansive exhibition, titled ‘Nilufar Depot’, a setting that has been created in a former industrial space near the outskirts of the city.

Khaled is also one of the 17 designers and artists, who have reimagined Dior’s iconic ‘Medallion’ chair. For his version, he deconstructed and reinvented the original by extending its back and including a straw-backed mirror with leather-fringed feet.
