Homage to Morandi

The collection is available in several natural stones including Bianco Carrara, Botticino, Cipollino, and Rosso Collemandina. Each variety is quarried in Italy and carries a distinct geological character, from the pale restraint of Carrara marble to the vivid depth of Rosso Collemandina.

Elisa Ossino is a Milan-based architect and art director whose practice spans product design, exhibition design, and visual identity. She has worked closely with Salvatori across multiple collections, developing a body of work that treats stone as both medium and subject.

Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964) was a Bologna-born Italian painter best known for his meditative still lifes of bottles, jars, and vessels rendered in muted, closely valued tones. Ossino's sculpture series translates his signature forms into three-dimensional stone objects, exploring how his compositional simplicity reads in physical material.

Each sculpture is carved by Salvatori's craftspeople in Querceta, Tuscany, from a single block of natural marble or stone. Salvatori has operated in the Apuan Alps region for decades, maintaining direct relationships with quarries and artisans who specialize in precision stone working.

Yes, and grouping them is central to the concept. Just as Morandi arranged his vessels in quiet, carefully considered clusters, the pieces are designed to be composed together. Mixing stones within a single arrangement creates the kind of tonal dialogue that defines his painted work.
