Salvatori Wigmore Street originally opened in 2016 and whilst the displays have been frequently updated over the years since 2016, this new makeover in collaboration with architect Piero Lissoni, represents a total redesign.

The flagship store in Wigmore Street is one of three 100% company-owned, alongside locations in Milan and New York.

Salvatori London at 26 Wigmore St, reopened yesterday, November 7th.

Salvatori says that the new showroom layout reflects the award-winning Italian design company's commitment to creating beautiful objects and décors that express timeless, understated luxury, all of which are proudly made in Italy.

The showroom showcases innovative textures, a sculptural bathroom collection and original furniture and accessories, which are all predominantly made from natural stone and designed by some of the world’s most renowned names in design and architecture.

The new space offers clients and designers alike, the chance to experience the extraordinary tactile nature of natural stone at first hand and enjoy access to the personalised services and design consultancy that Salvatori pride themselves on.

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.”
