Achille Hardcover Book - Achille Salvagni

The Achille book offers a comprehensive portrait of Italian architect, artist, and designer Achille Salvagni, written by curator and historian Glenn Adamson. It traces Salvagni's design references from classical Rome and mythology through Art Deco and mid-century Italian design, documenting bespoke furniture, lighting, and objets d'art created in close collaboration with master artisans. Iconic pieces such as the Spider chandelier — with its radiating bronze arms and glowing onyx diffusers — are examined alongside the materials that define his practice, including bronze, onyx, marble, parchment, silk, and rare woods. Lavishly illustrated with photography of Salvagni's works and ateliers across Rome, London, New York, and Palm Beach, the volume documents a body of work built on craftsmanship, patina, and structural detail.
