The Anima bathtub is available from £50,000 for the bath plus £15,500 shipping to the UK.
Home interiors designer Andrew Dillon of Studio5 Home Interiors in Cheshire says he when he first saw what Salvatori was achieving with its stunning designs he was was simply stunned.
Andrew said "I have always been an admirer of Salvatori and the fantastic designs they produce and have often visited the London showroom over the years so I am very much looking forward to seeing the new remodelled showroom."
Italian architect Piero Lissoni
Starting out with kitchen and bathroom designs at Boffi Kitchens in the 1980's respected Italian architect Piero Lissoni is the art director for Alpi, B&B Italia, Boffi, Living Divani, Lema, Lualdi, Porro and Sanlorenzo and amongst his many design projects he has also designed exhibition stands for Audi at world motor shows.
On his collaboration with award-winning Italian design company Salvatori, Piero Lissoni commented “The Salvatori showroom is already a classic destination in London so the redesign is about reflecting its position as a market leader,” says Lissoni. “The reimage maintains its subtle and – paradoxically – Italian understatement that adapts to English style while preserving the strength, power and beauty of its creations.”
