Nat Wilms & Andrea Zambelli

Hillsideout is a joint project by Andrea Zambelli and Nat Wilms, which offers furnishing solutions that embrace art, design and the antique. Andrea comes from the world of antiques restoration, while Nat studied fine arts and worked as a photographer and video artist. During the financial crisis in 2008, they found themselves rethinking their professions, finding a common path in art and design. There are several ways to approach furniture making, ranging from the aesthetics to the choice of materials to its practicality. Hillsideout’s projects begin with a story: there is always an old tradition, a myth or a historical event hiding within their work, a little-known tale that is just too interesting not to be told.
