Achille Salvagni Atelier | Kyoto | September 2017

This autumn Achille Salvagni looks towards East Asia for his latest work on view from 14 September 2017. Marking a departure from his favoured exploration of Roman design, Salvagni turns towards Japan, a country with a long and rich art and design history.

‘Kyoto was once Japan’s imperial capital and the centre of Japanese culture for more than 1,000 years. Today the city retains a very important cultural significance and is synonymous with traditional fine craftsmanship, ancient temples, serene gardens and sophisticated tea ceremonies. For this exhibition I wanted to focus on my own interpretations of this extraordinary city and explore how I could draw inspiration from its rich and fascinating heritage’.
