## Summary

Hardcover art and design book titled 'Achille', featuring a blue and yellow cover, celebrating the bespoke creations of Italian architect and designer Achille Salvagni.

## Description

Achille is a major new volume celebrating the bespoke creations of the eponymous Italian architect, artist, and designer. Focused on bespoke furniture, lighting, and objets d’art, the book presents a comprehensive portrait of a designer whose work bridges ancient craftsmanship and modern imagination with uncommon precision. Written by curator, writer, and historian Glenn Adamson, the book situates the designer within a broader cultural continuum, tracing references from classical Rome and mythology to Art Deco, mid-century Italian design, and contemporary art. His most iconic creations, like the Spider chandelier, introduced in 2016, with its radiating bronze arms and glowing onyx diffusers, part ancient Roman chariot, part modern kinetic sculpture, reflect what has become Salvagni’s signature: a fusion of classicism and modernism. The Roman designer’s iconic pieces possess a timeless quality through his commitment to unparalleled craftsmanship and passion for the world’s most noble materials, including bronze, onyx, marble, parchment, silk, and rare woods. Through close collaboration with master artisans, Salvagni begins with the craft itself rather than imposing form onto material, allowing technique to guide design. This dedication to excellence is seen in each design, down to its hinges, patinas, and structural details “ Achille is a radiant expression of the creative philosophy that has shaped my entire career,” said Achille Salvagni. “In my designs, I aim to infuse a sense of care, memory, and respect for tradition, while reinventing beauty in unexpected and ironic ways. The essence of my work is a harmonious dialogue between time-honored craftsmanship and rich, historic storytelling expressed through a contemporary language, and I am delighted to bring these visions to life through my collaboration with Assouline and the prolific Glenn Adamson.” Lavishly illustrated with photography of Salvagni’s works, ateliers, and interiors in Rome, London, New York, and Palm Beach the title captures a world which redefines what furniture can be. Achille stands as a testament to the enduring power of individual and meaningful originality.
