Nina co-founded Santa & Cole. That gave her something no sales script can replicate: the authority of the first person. She had been there from the beginning. With a magnetic presence, her presentations were accounts of a life lived rather than a pitch made. Those lucky enough to attend one still talk to us about it.

For this tribute, we announce the relaunch of La Bella Durmiente, a lamp Nina designed with Gabriel Ordeig Cole in 1985. It has been asleep long enough. It returns now as a reminder of what she brought to everything she touched: playfulness, joy, and an instinct to go somewhere unexpected.
