Salbini Tour: Australia March 2025

A journey through projects, meetings, and future visions, where design meets emotions, and relationships become home.

There are journeys that can’t be measured in kilometres but in emotions. The Salbini Tour is one of those. It’s the moment when our team travels the world to embrace clients, shake hands, and experience the projects that are coming to life.

In March 2025, our Managing Director, Filippo Salbini, visited Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth, accompanied by our Australian collaborators and our local agent, Scott Wilson. This edition was extra special, almost entirely focused on projects in progress, because we believe that being present on-site is vital to ensure our clients receive an exclusive and tailored service.

Our mission is not simply to deliver luxury products from Italy. It’s to be there. It’s to create something unique together.

The Heart of This Salbini Tour

This edition of the Salbini Tour had a clear focus: following the projects that are taking shape. Busy construction sites, luxury homes being built, visions transforming into reality.

We visited the future homes of our clients, discussing every detail with them, with interior designers, architects, and installers. For us, every project is a work of art in progress, and our goal is to provide unique pieces that make it extraordinary.

From furniture to bespoke joinery, from kitchens to appliances, from home accessories to marble, everything is selected from the best Italian and European manufacturers.

Adding an invaluable touch was the constant presence of Scott Wilson, our agent in Australia, who follows the most important projects on the ground every day, ensuring our clients receive direct and immediate support. Scott is doing an incredible job, and it’s thanks to his dedication that we can stay close to our clients, even thousands of miles away.

Australia is not just a market for us. It’s a home away from home, a place where our work comes to life with people who share our values.

Australia: More than a Market, a Second Family

Every time we land in Australia, we know something special awaits. Here, we don’t just have clients and partners. We have friends, people who over the years have become part of our lives.

We met long-time clients, with whom we share a bond that goes beyond business. They welcome us with affection, warmth, and that familiarity that makes Australia feel like a special place for us.

It’s not just work. It’s friendship, it’s trust, it’s mutual respect. Every meeting is a precious moment, filled with genuine smiles, chats over coffee, and hugs that speak to the beauty of a relationship built over time.

Thank you. Thank you for making us feel at home, always. For the hospitality, for the trust, for your friendship.

Paolo Castelli Showroom in Sydney

One of the most significant moments of this tour was our visit to Sydney, where we closely followed the installation of products ahead of the upcoming opening of the new Paolo Castelli showroom. This project fills us with great pride, as Filippo Salbini, in his role as Paolo Castelli’s agent in Australia, has meticulously overseen every phase of this new showroom opening, from the initial interest of the Atmosfera Studio team to the various steps that made this new landmark for Italian design in Sydney possible. Thanks to this effort, Paolo Castelli will officially be present in one of the world’s most dynamic cities.

We had the honour of witnessing the setup of a space that embodies the best of Italian design, ready to welcome clients and industry professionals. This experience once again highlights Salbini’s commitment to bringing the excellence of Made in Italy to Australia, always with the utmost attention to detail, because every project is a unique masterpiece.

Salbini and Australasia: A Growing Bond, a Future to Write

Australia and the entire Australasia region are part of our story. Every year, we visit here at least twice, because we believe the true essence of our work is in closeness, human contact, and the ability to follow each project with care and attention.

The Salbini Tour is not just a trip. It’s a constant commitment, a promise to our clients, a bond that grows and strengthens year after year.

And as we return to Italy, we already know that the next visit will be even more special. Because the best is yet to come.

See you soon, Australia.
