Achille Salvagni x Pilar Viladas - The Past is Present: Ancient Inspiration for Contemporary Effect

Achille Salvagni is an avowed modernist, yet his work consistently bears the weight of history – not in overt references, but in its material richness, impeccable craftsmanship, and deeply layered narrative. Salvagni and author Pilar Viladas explore the world of Achille Salvagni, from the ancient influences of his native Rome to his approach to craftsmanship that have helped shape his elegant interiors and limited-edition furniture, lighting, and accessory design. Join us for a conversation on harmony, color, and craftsmanship, along with discerning ruminations on the role of audacity, contrast, heritage, balance, and narrative.
