Achille Salvagni Debuts Palm Beach Gallery
The 2020 Creative Mind opens the doors to his elegant new Worth Avenue space, which will also introduce two spectacular cabinet designs
The interiors conceived by Italian architect and designer Achille Salvagni command attention not just for their elegant and refined structure but also for the bespoke furniture and lighting he crafts to enliven the sculpted rooms. Its a poetic style he has channeled into artful private residences, sumptuous yachts, and his own galleries in London and New York. And it’s a talent that made him a member of Galerie’s inaugural list of Creative Minds.
Now, Salvagni is introducing a new atelier in Palm Beach on the city’s fashion-focused Worth Avenue. “The Palm Beach gallery represents a new chapter and an evolution in my creative journey,” Salvagni tells Galerie. “It is less about expansion and more about continuity—continuing a dialogue between design and place, heritage and reinvention. Palm Beach was the perfect location for this moment; its community and appreciation for the quality of life stand as a contemporary symbol of a lifestyle that is timeless and always transforming, just like my work.”
Paramount to the concept is the architecture of the site and the visual splendor of the surrounding neighborhoods. “For me, Palm Beach has a fascinating duality,” says Salvagni. “It is a place deeply rooted in its own history, yet it wears that history lightly, with grace, humor, and freedom. The gallery interiors blend this sense of refinement and irony with a beauty lived with ease, creating a new cultural home. It is airy and filled with light, and its location on Worth Avenue sits among fashion boutiques and brands that uphold the same guiding values of craftsmanship and elegance.”
Guests visiting during its grand opening, hosted amongst the excitement of Palm Beach Design Days, will discover a heady array of Salvagni’s signature works, including his Alligator BB sofa, Divo lamp, Emerald side table, Milano chair, Shield cabinet, Spider Maximus chandelier, and Yves mirror. Additionally, the atelier’s premiere will introduce two dreamy new cabinets.
“To celebrate the opening of the Palm Beach gallery, I created a pair of baby blue cabinets, Oceano I and Oceano II, adorned with 24K plated bronze accents with motifs that nod to the surrounding environment,” says Salvagni. “Throughout the year, the presentation will evolve, and we will introduce new works and collaborations that respond to Palm Beach’s unique rhythm and codes.” A perfect reason to return and discover more treasures waiting for their moment in the sun.
