Saporiti Italia organizes the “ART COLORS DESIGN / Salvati & Tresoldi x Saporiti Italia” exhibition, from October 7 to 22 , at Adi Design Museum in Milan.

The exhibition traces Saporiti Italia’s historic collaboration with Studio Salvati & Tresoldi, highlighting the close relationship between art, architecture and design of which Salvati & Tresoldi’s work was a forerunner, particularly through the use of colour.
Recounted in the exhibition are drawings, publications, images and historical objects, born from this collaboration and produced by Saporiti Italia in the ‘80s and ‘90s.
These include the Omaggi and Diana chairs, the Geometric and Lissitksy tables, the Miamina chair – selected in 1984 for the Compasso d’oro Award.
The Miamina chair is the protagonist of the “ART COLORS DESIGN” exhibition, through the presentation of a limited edition of 20 unique pieces dedicated to the ‘Saporiti Cities’ with original cloths and embroideries created by art laboratory FoscaMilano.
The 20 Miamina, inspired by 20 different cities around the world where Saporiti Italia has executed important projects, will be sold at a charity auctioned by Cambi Auction House, with the proceeds destined to support the cultural and social activities of the Sergio Saporiti Foundation.

After the execution of the interiors for the exclusive and luxurious Volante Tower One in Dubai, Saporiti Italia has been awarded the fit-out and furnishing of Volante Tower Two.
Volante Tower One and Tower Two are two 36 storey towers located in prestigious Business Bay area, directly facing Dubai Canal and Burj Khalifa Tower.
In 2017, Saporiti Italia designed and supplied the interiors for the public areas of Volante, as well as for three show-flats and the fixed furniture elements for the entire tower.
Volante has now appointed Saporiti Italia to execute the same works for Volante Tower Two.
The sophisticated Volante apartments are either 1.000 square meters wide (full floor apartments) or 500 sq. mt. wide (half floors apartments) and are decorated with custom-made doors, feature- panelling, kitchens and bathrooms, all designed and made-in-Italy by Saporiti Italia.
The fourth floor of each tower accommodates a luxurious club-house, with private restaurant, business center, lounge, terrace, pool and spa.

Saporiti Italia created the architectural and interior design project for a new Art Space in Shanghai.
The BA Gallery building is located just minutes from the impressive towers of Pu Dong (Shanghai Tower, World Financial Center, Jin Mao Tower), in very quiet and pleasant area along the Pu River, just in front the historic Bund district.
This is an area that will play a central role in the new development plan of Shanghai, which will include many other new facilities dedicated to art and creativity.
The building is divided in three areas: the Dark Gallery, the Bright Gallery, the Gardens.
The Dark Gallery is a quiet and intimate exhibition space.
A black box suitable for sounds and video art installations.
The Bright gallery is a large, white space.
Two skylights allow the light from the outside to flood the space.
It is the perfect venue for large art installation, public events and workshops.
The Gardens are the entrance to the galleries.
A bar and a seating area offer a fresh and relaxing space to the visitors of the museum.
The upper floors include a Club House, usable also a commercial space, and the museum directional offices.

Inside Art is research laboratory created by Saporiti Italia aimed to conceive design objects for art and architecture sites.
Artworks – paintings, sculptures, installations – need large architectural spaces to be exhibited, but they also need interior design objects to be admired.
This is why Saporiti Italia every year proposes world famous architects or international emerging designers to create new objects “to watch art” and “to be watched” inside the art and architectural spaces.
The designers involved into the Inside Art project in recent years are:
Dodo Arslan, Giulio Ceppi / Total Tool, Pierluigi Cerri, Alessandro Colombo, Marco Ferreri, Marti Guixé, Kuhen & Malvezzi, Setsu e Shinobu Ito, Joelchui, Mauro Lipparini, Eric Maria, Ministry of Design, Claudio Nardi, Gianfranco Pardi, Park Associati, Talenia Phua Gajardo & Camiel Weijenberg / Makemei, Alain Renk, Vacuumlab, Vudafieri Saverino Partners, Carlos Zapata.
Every designer created a very different project, but always very consistent with Saporiti Italia’s technical history and design philosophy, who always interacts very strongly with each designer, at every stage of the development of a product or a project.
The ensemble of these researches, all together, represents an interesting view on the world of architecture and product design, conceived not as different (or even opposed to each other) “themes”, but as an original “unique design process”.

Saporiti Italia designed and furnished the directional offices of the new Noberasco Headquarters.
Noberasco is the Italian leader in the dry and dried fruit industry, with over a century of expertise in this field.
Saporiti Italia decorated the directional areas of Noberasco’s new factory, including the products showroom, the private restaurant and the spectacular cantilever board-room at second floor.
The board-room table has been designed by Saporiti Italia to recall the leaves of the date-palm tree, a fruit at the origins of Noberasco’s history, with sophisticated inlays of dark and light oak veneers.
The showroom display walls are made with two typical materials from the coastal region of Liguria: olive tree wood and ardesia, the local volcanic slate rock.
