Officine Salvetti

Officine Salvetti is an atelier founded on the creative legacy of Andrea Salvetti, a visionary sculptor and designer born in 1967 in the province of Lucca, Tuscany. Deeply connected to the natural landscapes of the Apuan Alps, where he lived and worked, Salvetti developed a unique, interdisciplinary practice that seamlessly blended sculpture, design, architecture, and performance. His work defied conventional categorization, instead embracing a horizontal, hybrid approach that placed equal value on aesthetic impact and functional form.

The studio continues to honor Salvetti’s philosophy, which was grounded in a deep reverence for the earth and nature. His pieces often emerged from direct, hands-on experimentation with materials—especially metals—transforming them into expressive objects that balanced artistic intuition with artisanal technique. The workshop environment encouraged a dynamic, tactile process: “making the hands think” was not just a method, but a credo.

Officine Salvetti’s creations have been exhibited in major international art and design platforms including the Venice Biennale, Triennale di Milano, Design Miami/Basel, PAD Paris-London, Art Dubai, and Moscow Design Week. Collaborations with figures such as Philippe Starck and features in prestigious auction houses like Sotheby’s, Piasa and Artcurial reflect the global resonance of Salvetti’s vision.

Today, Officine Salvetti continues his legacy by cultivating projects that explore materiality, nature, and cultural identity through design. While there is no explicit social mission stated, the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship, sustainability, and local culture positions it as a meaningful contributor to contemporary creative discourse. Rooted in Tuscany, but reaching beyond borders, Officine Salvetti embodies a unique harmony between past and present, earth and imagination.
