Squat London – Pop-up Exhibit Transforms Victorian Property into Luxury Apartment
Nina Yashar of Milan based Nilufar Gallery spent five years transforming the 2,355 sq m space on South Audley Street near Hyde Park into a combination residence and exhibition space, challenging traditional art and design perspectives. After past runs in Paris, Beirut, and Milan, she unveiled the fifth edition Squat London. Partnering with local interior architect Shalini Misra they worked to create a luxury apartment for lovers of both art and interior design, filling it with a mix of over 100 pieces of contemporary and historical furniture and art.
“with Squat I tried to give life to an original domestic landscape, creating new and unexpected associations between furniture and space. I’ve always wanted to bring Squat to London; it’s a place rich with talents and opportunities, a true window on the world.”
The exhibition was to run until October 2016, however, Squat has come off the market early. As announced on 25th July the apartment was sold, therefore ending the open exhibition. As an ongoing project it now leaves for the next location.
