An Evening with Achille Salvagni: A Celebration of Craft and Vision

On the evening of Wednesday, May 13, 2026, the elegant address of 817 Madison Avenue in New York City played host to an intimate cocktail reception marking the launch of Achille Salvagni, a new monograph published by Assouline. Throughout the evening, a discerning crowd of collectors, designers, gallerists, and tastemakers gathered to celebrate one of design's most singular voices. 

The book, a dedicated portrait of the Rome-based designer whose work bridges ancient craftsmanship and modern imagination, drew a remarkable cross-section of the cultural world. Among the evening's notable attendees was Glenn Adamson, the esteemed curator and design historian who authored the book itself. Also present was celebrated interior designer Victoria Hagan, and Jamie Tisch, prominent businesswoman and philanthropist, reflecting the broader collecting community that Salvagni's work has long captivated. 

Hosted jointly by Salvagni's studio and the Assouline team, including founders Martine and Prosper Assouline, the evening was curated for those who appreciate the longevity of great design.
