05 / NELLY STO

Art and materials,
one vision.

My work brings together artistic creation, restoration and decorative craftsmanship. I enjoy combining textures, reflections and colours to reveal the character of an object or a space.

In Monaco, Nice and across the French Riviera, I work on hotels, villas and private residences, as well as commissions for individual clients.

AN ARTWORK, AN OBJECT, A PLACE

It all begins
with your project.

To prepare for our conversation, gather a few photos,
