Assouline's \u2018Achille\u2019 is an important coffee-table book that highlights the bespoke creations of the Italian architect, artist and designer of the same name. Focusing on custom-made furniture, lighting and art objects, the book paints a comprehensive portrait of a designer whose work bridges age-old craftsmanship and modern imagination with uncommon precision.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Written by curator, writer and historian Glenn Adamson, the book places the designer in a broader cultural continuum, tracing references from classical Rome and mythology to art deco, mid-century Italian design and contemporary art. His most iconic creations, such as the Spider chandelier, introduced in 2016, with its radiant bronze arms and glowing onyx diffusers, part ancient Roman chariot, part modern kinetic sculpture, reflect what has become Salvagni's trademark: a fusion of classicism and modernism.<\/p>\n

\u201cAchille is a radiant expression of the creative philosophy that has shaped my entire career,\u201d said Achille Salvagni. \u201cIn my designs I strive to bring a sense of care, memory and respect for tradition, while reinventing beauty in unexpected and ironic ways.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lavishly illustrated with photographs of Salvagni's works, studios and interiors in Rome, London, New York and Palm Beach, the book portrays a world that is redefining what furniture can be. Achille is a testament to the enduring power of individual and meaningful originality.<\/p>\n
