Italian home products and décor are no longer just a moodboard for Filipino designers and artists. They can now recreate and experience the epitome of Italian craftsmanship and design without leaving the country.
Renowned as the birthplace of the Renaissance and home to some of
the world’s most iconic architectural structures, Italy has long been a global trendsetter in seamlessly blending classic and modern elements. This unique fusion is particularly evident in the realm of Italian furniture and home décor, serving as a constant source of inspiration for luxurious home designs worldwide.
Super Salone recently opened its showroom, bringing together the crème de la crème of Italian home product brands in the country. Super Salone’s featured brands have already garnered exposure in notable platforms.
GOOD HISTORY
Frette has noteworthy collaborations with prestigious entities like The Vatican, the Titanic, and the Orient Express, among many others. For over 160 years, Frette has been the trusted manufacturer of un- paralleled comfort, crafting luxury linens and decorative home accessories with the finest fibers and the expertise of skilled Italian artisans.
FORM AND FUNCTION
Super Salone’s thoughtfully curated collection of Italian brands also excels in seamlessly blending form with function, making them perfect for home innovations and aesthetic upgrades. This philosophy is exemplified in Arflex, a brand renowned for its creative and out-of-the-box furniture designs, which combine the use of new materials with the expertise of prominent Italian and international designers.
CUSTOMIZATION
An impressive level of customization is another striking feature possessed by the brands carried by Super Salone. Rimade- sio has an extensive capacity of combining different kinds of materials – leather, glass, fabric, Litech, marbles, and more – to manufacture sliding doors, tables, chair, and others, tailored to meet the needs of designers and homeowners.
Another brand excelling in this aspect is Glamora, a renowned brand known for its custom wall coverings inspired by art, design, and nature. Crafted with exquisite, sustainable materials, Glamora seamlessly combines modern-day style with classical, sophisticated principles to establish a contemporary and coherent identity that beautifully complements architecture.
COLLABORATIVE AND SUSTAINABLE FURNITURE
The vibrancy of collaboration is further highlighted in brands featured by Super Salone, including Viccarbe. Rooted in a belief in people and endeavoring to support them through its products, Viccarbe provides a diverse collection of elegant and timeless office furniture pieces, encompassing seating, tables, and accessories, all meticulously designed for enduring quality.
Viccarbe partners with international designers to create products that pro- mote interaction, comfort, and produc- tivity, and has been distinguished by its simplicity, innovative elegance, and global brand awareness.
ACCENT
Another way to enhance the overall ambience of a space is bringing furniture or decors in for accent, and this is where exquisite carpets come in. Established in 1962, Amini is known for its ability to design, execute, and market all kinds of carpets and rugs. From handcrafted to machined, contemporary to limited editions, Amini Carpets searches for the perfect balance between technical quality and stylistic versatility.
FINAL TOUCHES
Super Salone takes great pride in showcasing the exceptional works of world-class brass sculptor Michael Cacnio. His works of art provide artistic refinement to the showroom, combining recognized brand craftsmanship with Cacnio’s sculptural brilliance.
The inauguration of Super Salone’s showroom in the country was commemorated through the event, “La Vita Moderna: Super Salone Grand Launch,” drawing inspiration from the concept of “Domani,” symbolizing the dawn of a new era for Italian luxury homes.
Super Salone is a premier showroom dedicated to bringing the finest Italian furniture and home fixtures to Filipino homes. With a carefully curated collection of luxury brands and artistic elements, Super Salone is committed to transforming living spaces into expressions of timeless elegance and modern sophistication.
