Renowned Italian design brand Salvatori marks a dominant presence at Milan Design Week 2022.
Through a large array of products displayed at the design festival, the brand pays homage to
several Western and Eastern legends, traditions and designs. Two such showcases heralded
by the brand are the Japanese Collection by Italian architect and designer, Piero Lissoni and
the Omphalos Collection by British architect, John Pawson. While the former comprises a trio of
exquisite bowls built using natural stone, the latter is a collection of stone coffee tables. Both of
them are sculpted out of natural stone, yet they evoke different traditions and stories.

Lissoni’s Japanese Collection extols the traditions and style of the Far East with a series of bowls
that resemble the traditional Japanese ceremonial tea bowls, but are sculpted out of stone instead
of traditional porcelain. British designer John Pawson’s Omphalos Collection is a series of coffee
tables made out of natural stone.

Designed as low tables, both the circular and rectangular versions of the Omphalos table collection
are constructed such that they appear to levitate mid air. This gives a sense of extreme lightness
and helps draw both the eye of the viewer and their curiosity to the table.

In what marks a debut for wood manufacturer ALPI at Salone del Mobile.Milano, the brand presents
the Legacy collection, curated by ALPI art director Piero Lissoni. The collection effectively illustrates
the brand’s unique capacity to reinvent wood in new formats and styles through rigorous research
and experimentation. The new collection was designed with the aim of creating unique decorative
surfaces using reconstituted wood, such that their texture exalts the natural identity of several
lost species that are no longer in circulation. “Teak, mahogany, ebony and rosewood are all lost
species of wood that are indisputably in need of protection. So how can we use them in today’s
world? We imagined another way to interpret them, another way to make them because we do
indeed have to make them so as not to destroy them. We have to invent them in another way.
And this is where innovation lies. We are using traditional products and introducing innovation
to make them sustainable,” says Piero Lissoni about the inspiration behind this project. The
