The Milan apartment of Gabriele Salvatori, the CEO of design brand Salvatori was completely renovated before opening its doors to the public in 2017 in the form of Casa Salvatori: a real home which personifies the design principles of the brand and acts as a type of extension of the Salvatori showroom across the courtyard. Whist primarily a private home, it has also become a space in which to host architects and designers in a more intimate, convivial context.
The classic soul of the 200-year old apartment, with its standout features such as the fireplace and original Terrazzo floors took on a new vibrancy as a result of the modern colour palette in which strong tones in a variety of declinations play off each other and distinctive, contemporary furnishings.
Eschewing conventionality, the exposed beams of the main living spaces were painted in an elegant dark green, each room in a slightly different tone. The dominance of the roof is a counterpoint to the bold geometric forms of the furniture, each piece carefully selected to strike the perfect contrast with the walls in an engrossing dialogue between warm & cool colours. The two bathrooms showcase Salvatori’s signature textures and products, from the basins and shower trays to lighting and accessories.
