Atelier Nuanda is a place where tradition and craftsmanship meet. Cecilia Rinaldi, designer and textile artist, founded the atelier with her husband in 2022 with an unconventional vision of design.

The creative approach combines experimentation between different disciplines, a focus on design and craftsmanship: a vision in which the contemporary combines harmoniously with a past that is still alive, made up of ancient traditions and techniques. The atelier has developed an innovative leather processing technique, which enables the creation of light and original artefacts. From the weave, a new knitted textile structure is created: a leather weave that can be used as a supporting and decorative element at the same time, and is suitable as a base or covering for fashion accessories, furniture and decorative artefacts. The design process aims to promote the sustainable production of unique and commissioned pieces that combine functionality and design, through the theme of craftsmanship.

In September 2024, the atelier won the third edition of the Starhotels Prize “La Grande Bellezza – The Dream Factory” award with the work Amphora.
During its participation in the sixth edition of EDIT Napoli, in October 2024, the Plĭco divider received the award of the SEMINARIO section, as the winner for the best new product.
In March 2025, the atelier has been chosen by AD Italia as on of the best emerging design studio of the year.
