Nini wants to “sign” luxury buildings

nini-722

Designer Nini Andrade Silva wants to start “signing” buildings. In a world where the hotels she designed have spread her name and made her recognized, and after conquering critics, the Madeiran designer known for her links to the pebbles of our beaches – which have sort of become her business card – accepts her next step is a giant’s one.

Nini admitted to “Madeira In & Out” in a recent interview that the time has come for her to do something new, and this is when the idea came up to create luxury housing with buildings “designed by Nini Andrade Silva”. She wants to do new things in life. And this is her new target. “There has to be something new happening”. Supporting this vies, she recalls a story she read as a child, about an old lady sitting in a chair and thinking about how many days she had wasted, and how much she needed them then. “We are all given a credit of days to use, and I don’t want to waste them”. So she is not wasting any time, and is already looking for investors.

The Portuguese designer, to whom awards were granted throughout the world, and who invited for conferences in all continents, received us in one of her passages through the city that saw her born 54 years ago. The result of these small stretches of time in which I discovered the human side of the well known designer can be read here, still this week, in the section “People”.
