Give the gift of design this holiday season. No matter what type of person you’re shopping for, you’re sure to find the perfect present, handcrafted in Salvatori’s Tuscan atelier. From small treasures to statement-making furniture pieces, let us help you find that perfect piece of Made in Italy design that will stand the test of time.
For the person who wants to unwind — Pietra d’Avola candle
It’s only appropriate that Salvatori’s first home fragrance comes housed in a stone vessel designed by none other than Milanese designer Piero Lissoni. Encased in a simple but distinctive hollowed column of natural stone, an intensely fragrant candle channels Mediterranean notes of white musk, amber, cedar and jasmine. A thoughtful gift for someone looking to slow down, relax and contemplate the quieter moments of the season.
For the Perfect Hostess — Pietra L Collection
The Pietra L Collection takes everyday home items and with a simple twist or unconventional element transforms them into arresting objects which perfectly combine function and form. The inimitable eye of Piero Lissoni is apparent in the series which includes trays, side tables, bookends and doorstops in a host of gorgeous marbles.
For the Art Lover — Omaggio a Morandi
The ideal gift for a passionate art lover, the Omaggio a Morandi series brings the Italian painter’s timeless forms into three-dimensional existence using beautiful natural stone. From the classic elegance of Bianco Carrara and Botticino to the dramatic intensity of Cipollino and Rosso Collemandina, the collection brings together examples of marbles used in some of Italy’s most iconic architecture.
For the new homeowner — Archimede
The Archimede mirror by Elisa Ossino is an enchanting portal into another world. An eye-catching accessory in either a bathroom or living room, it is a stylish, contemporary Christmas present for someone decorating a first home or apartment.
For a Statement Gift — Urano
Elisa Ossino’s elegant and other-worldly Urano floor lamp is meticulously carved from a single piece of Bianco Carrara marble and hand-finished in Salvatori’s Tuscan atelier. A gorgeous statement piece which creates a delicately romantic environment, it puts the sculptural qualities of natural stone on prime display and is the perfect gift for someone who appreciates life’s finer things.
For the Perfect Office —the Balancing Collection
For an elegant workspace either at home or at the office, the Balancing Collection — designed by Compasso d’Oro-winning Studiocharlie — is the perfect gift for the those who often find themselves burning the midnight oil. Comprising a series of distinctive and contemporary statement objects for the desk, Balancing combines burnished brass with Calacatta Vagli, a milky white marble accented with beautiful swathes of pale gold and grey veining. The collection includes a desk pad, document holder, letter holder, letter opener, paperweight and a pen holder.
