Salone Del Mobile in Milan showcases bold and innovative brands from all over the world – and the 60th Salone Del Mobile was no exception. Perfectly exemplifying the excellence on display were the offerings from Salvatori, a Tuscan-based company committed to delivering products in keeping with modern retail, hospitality and private construction.

Propelled by a deep passion and respect for innate yet dynamic design, Salvatori crafts both textured and elegant pieces that drawn upon the timeless ethos of Italian craftsmanship and innovative technology.

Among the Salvatori pieces presented at Salone del Mobile was Koushi, designed by Kengo Kuma. Taking cues from Japanese design principles of simplicity, the modular range can be interpreted in whatever manner the situation requires – whether that be as a storage solution, coffee table or room divider – rendered in wood, fabric or stone. Another piece, Omphalos by John Pawson, takes cues from Greek mythology. The piece captures themes of centrality and appears to float in the centre of the room, naturally drawing the viewer’s eye inward as it effortlessly hovers above its well-concealed base.

Flirt and Teo, a collaboration between Salvatori and Italian designer Luca Nichetto, bring forth a more playful tone. Flirt comprises of a pair of padded leather chairs and a table that transforms into a chessboard, encapsulating both a sleek and intuitive spirit. In a few simple movements, a player can turn the natural leather tabletop over to reveal a masterfully crafted chessboard and, with high-backed and comfortably padded chairs, settle in for a long game in comfort. Teo, a simple paper lamp, warmly illuminates a space through a sheet of rice paper, which acts as a light diffuser. USB charged, Teo is inspired by architect I M Pei.

Spaghetti – brought to life in collaboration with Sicilian architect and designer Elisa Ossino of Elisa Ossino Studio – is a collection of minimalist taps and mixers for basins, showers, baths, bidets and shower fittings. Contrasting the robust and bold simplicity of metal against natural stone, Spaghetti runs on an easy-fit system that makes the installation of the eco-conscious tapware intuitive.

Punto by Yabu Pushelberg similarly echoes innovation, bringing forth a delightful surprise to bathroom design through exciting textures and material combination to create something truly unique. With the central ethos of challenging traditional norms and balancing rationality and emotion, Punto’s artful construction and composition makes for an expressive and engaging design language.
