During the first edition of NOMAD Hamptons, guests were welcomed into the intimate studio of Sydney Albertini (Sydney Albertini) for a special visit presented by Sisley Paris.

The afternoon offered a personal journey through Albertini’s practice and creative world, followed by an open studio where guests could move freely through the works and experience them at their own pace.

A moment of discovery, conversation and connection in the Hamptons.

Gaetano Pesce’s unmistakable language of color, material and experimentation came together at NOMAD Hamptons through works spanning different moments of his extraordinary career.

Presented by Kalei NYC in collaboration with the Gaetano Pesce Estate, The Oman Collection — one of Pesce’s final projects — featured the Oman Chair and the monumental Oman Throne. Inspired by Oman’s frankincense tree, the works translate organic growth into sculptural form through resin, color and transparency.

Also on view were pieces from Pesce’s iconic 543 Broadway series for Meritalia, originally designed in 1993, including the Broadway Chair and Table. Made from colored epoxy resin and metal, each piece is inherently unique: the colors blend spontaneously during production, turning a serially produced object into a one-of-a-kind work.

Together, the works reflected a defining idea throughout Pesce’s practice — challenging the boundary between art and design while embracing individuality, imperfection and the expressive possibilities of material.

Stuart Parr brought a rare selection of coach-built Italian automobiles to NOMAD Hamptons, exploring the intersection of collectible design, craftsmanship, and automotive history.

Presented at The Watermill Center, the display featured iconic beach cars and exceptional mid-century models, including the Fiat Jolly, Fiat Marinella, and the extraordinarily rare convertible Fiat 600 Multipla. Blurring the boundaries between vehicle, sculpture, and design object, the presentation celebrated the spirit of La Dolce Vita and a remarkable chapter in Italian design culture.

A study in blue.

Presented by Leila Heller Gallery, John Clement’s monumental sculpture transforms steel into sweeping, looping forms that animate the landscape with movement and rhythm. Installed within the grounds of The Watermill Center, the work shifts with changing light and perspective, inviting visitors into an ongoing dialogue between art, architecture and nature.

Across NOMAD Hamptons, shades of blue emerged in unexpected ways — connecting sculpture, contemporary art and collectible design through a shared visual language.

Since 2017, NOMAD’s visual identity has been shaped by Studio Vedèt, the Milan-based creative and communication agency behind its evolving image.

With every edition and each new destination, Studio Vedèt has reinterpreted NOMAD’s journey, introducing thoughtful variations that strengthen a visual identity that remains distinctive, precise, and instantly recognizable.

Over the years, the evolution has reflected not only a graphic language but also NOMAD’s international growth and constant movement. For the latest editions in Abu Dhabi, St. Moritz, and The Hamptons, Studio Vedèt developed three original visual campaigns, each capturing the unique dialogue between NOMAD and the extraordinary places that hosted it.

A visual language in constant motion continuously adapting to new landscapes, cultures, and contexts.
