• Name — Achille Salvagni • Born — 1970 • Education — Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm • Field — Interior design, furniture and yacht interiors

Born in Rome in 1970, Salvagni grew up in Latina and attended the Sapienza University of Rome for six years, where he received his Architecture Degree with honors in 1998. He then spent a year studying in Sweden at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm where he became inspired by Scandinavian modernism that is part of his repertoire today. From a young age, Salvagni was interested in design, absorbing the Roman architecture he was surrounded by. His father worked in construction and he would accompany him on site visits as a child, which also fueled his interest in the field and the different materials and crafts involved in it.

In 2002, Salvagni founded Achille Salvagni Architetti in Rome, focused on interiors for high-end properties and yachts. Since 2013, he has expanded into the production of his limited-edition collectible designs. Salvagni independently represents his collectible pieces, after 10 years with Maison Gerard. Achille opened his gallery on Grafton Street in London in 2015 and on Madison Avenue in New York City in 2023, and on Worth Avenue in Palm Beach in 2026 each displaying his collectible designs. Following the success of Atelier, he opened his first flagship gallery in Mayfair London in 2015, and another in New York City in 2023 to showcase his latest creations. He debuted at Design Miami in 2025, participated at The Winter Show in 2023, presented at PAD Paris and London since 2009, and has exhibited at Salon Art + Design in New York in 2022 and 2023. Salvagni was honored as a Galerie Magazine Creative Mind in 2020, and was listed on the Elle Decor A-List of Designers in 2015. In 2019, Rizzoli published a book about Salvagni featuring his work and dedication to craftsmanship. He has collaborated with brands such as Azimut|Benetti, JL Coquet, and Waterworks. In 2026, he published a book with ASSOULINE entitled “ACHILLE”, written by curator Glenn Adamson that highlights his collectible design, lighting, and objets d’art and presents a comprehensive portrait of a designer whose work bridges ancient craftsmanship and modern imagination with unique precision.

Salvagni lives between Rome and London and is a collector of Post-War Italian art.
