Villa La Vigie, Monaco
The villa, La Vigie is one of the most prestigious villas on the Cote d’Azur due to its breathtaking views and palatial suits. Built in 1902, it possesses a magnificent panoramic view of the Mediterranean it also has 6 bedrooms, its own private road and has a jacuzzi overlooking the sea. The home has been known to have design fairs hosted there and is handpicked for 15 of the most esteemed design galleries across the globe. “One of the benefits of Nomad is that the objects are not presented in a horrible, big tent—you are seeing them in a beautiful house in daylight, which is ultimately where they will end up,” Bellavance-Lecompte told Forbes Magazine. “It’s all really personal. People can relate to the work to see how it will look in their home.”
Previously serving as a private hotel and event space, the luxurious villa located on the French Riviera surpassed all expectations of the perfect location for the Nomad showcase.
