ROMA Curators Nacho Polo & Robert Onuska present TESSUTO, Francesco Balzano’s solo exhibition, comprising works conceived during his one-month residency at the historic Villa Medici in Rome in 2025 and first previewed at the villa on April 14th, 2026 in collaboration with the French Academy in Rome, Villa Medici, and the Bettencourt-Schueller Foundation. Tessuto will be exhibited at STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN New York gallery from May 14th to June 12th, marking Balzano’s second solo exhibition with STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN. Tessuto is a meditation on heritage, a tribute to the intertwined histories of Italian and French architecture, design, and craftsmanship that define both the Villa Medici and Balzano’s lineage. In each work, Balzano engages a dialogue between control and abandon that shapes the Villa and its surroundings, animating the collections as rigorous forms that are softened by textile surfaces rich in narrative and texture. Comprised of two collections sharing a foundational vocabulary, Tessuto unfolds between imagination and experience. It traces how lived reality complicates and deepens romantic expectation, revealing the space between two moments in an artist’s process: the imagined Villa Medici and the experienced one. In this dialogue, we witness an artistic epiphany—a snapshot of Balzano’s evolution and a contemporary reflection on the Renaissance tradition of discovery, and renewal. Tessuto I, conceived prior to Balzano’s arrival in Rome, is an architectural reverie—a vision of the storied Villa imagined from afar, defined by weighty volumes and enveloped in luxurious Rubelli fabrics. In contrast, Tessuto II, developed in situ during his residency, reflects a more immediate engagement with the site: lighter in volume, and marked by airiness and restraint. Paying homage to the Loggia as a liminal space between interiors, and gardens, the second collection draws on the architectural philosophy of Balthus, emphasizing proportion and measured clarity. @nachopolo @onuska @francescobalzano_ Photography @adelslimanefecih On view May 14th - June 12th, 2026 STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN New York Gallery 241 Church Street, New York, NY By Appointment Only

Thank you Living Corriere Italia for featuring our New York City home @nachopolo @onuska Nacho Polo and Robert Onuska’s Tribeca apartment is a sanctuary of exceptional pieces. Curators, collectors, and trendsetters, their home is a living gallery where architecture, design, and art engage in a dialogue, and every space possesses a distinct character that radiates calm and intimacy. “Nacho is the one with the distinct Spanish accent; I’m the one who speaks American,” introduce Nacho Polo and Robert Onuska, immediately highlighting the first of the differences that have contributed to shaping the style of the home they designed together. Curators, collectors, and trendsetters, the pair are the driving force behind @studiotwentyseven —a New York gallery specializing in collectible design—and have turned their very differences into a creative engine. Their residence in Tribeca, a neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, looks like something more than just a simple home: it is almost a theatrical set—an eclectic composition of furnishings and artworks—where, as they said, “friends are invited to try everything out, without any fuss or formality.” Spanning nearly 400 square meters and featuring four bedrooms and five bathrooms, the apartment is situated within the first skyscraper designed in New York by the Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron. The building rises to a height of 250 meters, resembling a stack of transparent boxes that offer views of the Big Apple’s iconic landmarks—such as the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, and the silhouette of One World Trade Center just a few blocks away.

New York We designed the interiors of our gallery with curved walls to add movement and help create visual points of interest such as an oversized 10ft / 3m tall archway which leads to our 12ft / 3.6m tall rotunda where an oversized arched doorway, with another one of our signature handcarved chestnut doorknobs, opens to reveal a natural jute covered sanctuary, our guest powder room. We played with warm textures and colors complimented by the one-of-a-kind console sculpted from a single piece of Brazilian Jacaranda by American artist Charles Hagerman. The fully covered natural jute walls and ceiling in our powder room perfectly complement the travertine sink we designed, the unique chair upholstered in bespoke brown mohair fabric and bronze accent touches from the side table by French architect Stéphane Parmentier and little bird by French artist Victor Guedy. For a touch of color, we chose this photography from our private art collection by American artist Alex Prager showing model Karlie Kloss wearing vintage Celine from a Vogue outtake.

“SEAN” - our newest addition by @mcfriendy

New York When designing the interior of the gallery, one of our main objectives was to create an environment that would convey a sense of warmth and serve as a sophisticated backdrop for the curated selection of works by the artists and designers we represent in addition to pieces from our private art collection. The dark ivory custom color paint we selected for the walls and ceiling is perfectly matched with the 16ft / 4.9m tall curtains that frame each of the eight windows along the perimeter of our gallery. The wide plank natural oak we chose for the floors made the gallery feel at once timeless. For the layout of the gallery, we wanted to optimize the scale of the space and honor its historic significance. Our gallery, The Textile Building, was added to New York City’s historic registry in 1992 which guarantees its significance as an iconic part of the city’s architectural history. Any changes to the exterior or interior of the gallery had to be submitted and approved by the Historic Preservation Committee. We raised the ceilings back to their original height and exposed the steel beams that support the entire building above us. To us they symbolize not only the industrial age of New York City but also the strength and beauty of the architecture that is part of our gallery’s history. Our priority was maintaining the original ceiling height which allowed us to include monumental works. We love the contrast between the industrial columns from the early 1900’s and our curated contemporary works on view throughout the gallery.
