Salone del Mobile Milano 2022

The 60th edition of the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan was a special occasion to immerse ourselves in the world of design and to bring together our international managers and collaborators.

From 7 to 12 June 2022, at Rho Fiera Milano, we had a unique experience with customers, managers and partners, touching the products firsthand and admiring the new collections of the best Made in Italy and European brands.

We have combined the passion for our work with pleasant encounters of friendship and relaxation.

Our people

We have been to Milan with part of our Italian team, with our international managers and collaborators and with some clients from Brisbane and Sydney in Australia.

Our Italian team was made up of Filippo Salbini, Maria Giordano and Antonio Pepe.

What a great experience!

The Salone del Mobile is a very important event for the whole industry. Experiencing the 2022 edition with international managers and collaborators was fantastic

The joy of our customers who have selected the products for their projects makes us proud

The satisfied faces of all the participants make us understand that these occasions are to be repeated.

Our visit to the Itlas company in April 2022 allowed us to experience first-hand the high quality of 100% made in Italy wooden flooring and claddings, as well as “Progetto Bagno” and complementary decor items.

The Itlas collections were also highly appreciated by our guest, an important Australian interior designer, who visited the Itlas company with us, looking for products to use in his next projects in Australia.

In April, we were delighted to visit our partner Mastella.

A business meeting to give a chance to an important Australian interior designer to touch first hand the Mastella collection.

Such a successfull meeting that it has generated the beginning of a business relationship, and so as a consequence, a Mastella display corner will be shortly set up, in a very well known Sydney store, into a premium location.

Visit to Francesco Molon

In April 2022 we had the pleasure of showing to an important Australian designer, the Francesco Molon brand, in the province of Vicenza in Italy.

It was a very important moment for all of us.

Francesco Molon collections

We met again and with joy our Premium Partner Francesco Molon, while our Australian friend had the opportunity to see in person the elegant and luxury collections of the Francesco Molon brand and to touch the high quality of Made in Italy products, which he will use for some of his projects in Australia.

Salbini Tour Australia March 2022

The covid-19 pandemic has changed the way we live and work. Not having the opportunity to travel has been frustrating.

Back to Australia

Finally, after 3 years, a part of our Italian team was able to travel to Australia this March, to meet our Australian managers, customers and partners.

This has been a very important step.

With great enthusiasm, we spent three weeks in Australia: in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane

We visited 70 industries, designers, architects, developers and builders.

We had the opportunity to meet old and new customers and friends with whom we discussed their projects in every detail. On the other hand, we also enjoyed time together as friends, having dinner, going to concerts and having fun.

What a pleasure!

Sydney

This trip was very productive.

We spent 10 days in Sydney, meeting lots of customers, discussing old and new projects. This is very important for our customers because they feel confident when they can discuss such big project sin every detail; at the same time it’s crucial for us to make the all process smooth.

Bondi Penthouse

Among the many projects we visited, we also went to Bondi Beach to visit our Bondi Penthouse project.

Melbourne

While we were staying in Melbourne, we had the chance to go to Delta Goodrem’s concert. She is a famous Australian singer, and we are lucky to have her among our friends.

We also spent a day supervising “Cesar cucine” installation and visiting La Monte tiles. With Over 35 years experience in the Ceramic and Tile Industry, La Monte Tiles is renowned for Quality and Reliability.

We support two Epworth events in Melbourne.

Salbini Experience Tom Landry II

Designer Tom Landry II was our guest in Italy twice in September and December 2021, to live the “Salbini Experience”, our exclusive journey into the world of Italian design.

The welcome

He flew from America to Italy. In Milan he was welcomed by our Managers Filippo and Francesco, with whom he spent a few weeks in northern Italy, where he had the opportunity to touch and feel the high quality of the products, visiting the headquarters, the production plants and the showrooms of the best Italian brands.

The best Italian companies open their doors

To best meet the needs of Tom, who is carrying out some important projects with us in North America, we have selected some of the best Italian brands of furniture, lighting, carpets, bathroom and outdoor products.

With him we met many business managers, who were able to describe and show him the characteristics and manufacture of the products.

Tom experienced first hand the products of the following brands:

What an exciting experience for a designer!

Not only the products impressed Tom, but also the friendliness received during the weeks in Italy.

“I was fascinated by the quality of the materials and greatly appreciated the hospitality of the Italians.”

Tom Landry II

After his return to America, Tom wrote us what he thinks of the Salbini Experience:

“I had the extraordinary opportunity to be personally escorted to countless Italian luxury showrooms and factories throughout Italy by Salbini. 

It was the highlight of my 25 year career! 

The personalized journey was complemented by Filippo’s breadth of industry knowledge and his intense pride of his native land and its culture- providing for an all around exceptional experience.

At each venue, we were greeted by the respective staff – sometimes the owner/founder – for a personal tour of the manufacturer’s premises that included a verbal history and evolution of the brand. 

I was able to firsthand experience the design ethos of the brand, the employed ergonomics of the construction and the intricate details of the upholstery and millwork not commonly found on the web. In some locations, we were given a behind the scenes tour of how each iconic piece is handcrafted by Italian artisans, how the leather is processed & cut and the overall personal care taken to the craft of each piece. 

Unlike the annual Salone de Mobile in Milan, during my showroom and factory visits with Salbini, I was able to make fabric selections, plan future projects and spend as much time as I required experiencing each manufacturer showroom. 

Filippo encouraged me to spend as much time as I needed to engage each brand carefully in order to provide my clientele with first hand knowledge of the comfort, construction, craft and aesthetic of the brands I requested to experience.

As the premier consolidator of European luxury furniture, finishes and building materials, Salbini has the ability to bring Europe to your doorstep, quite literally! There’s no longer a need to wonder how to get something from Europe to North America for a client. Salbini handles the entire process- flawlessly. The Salbini Experience is on a level of its own.”

Tom Landry II

From north to south Italy to meet the team

Tom also had the opportunity to spend time with the other members of our Italian team, to better plan the work for ongoing projects in North America and also to spend some relaxing moments with the Salbini family.


With Salbini Experience we will open the doors of the best Italian companies to you.

Sovet

Sovet blends the tradition of Italian glass art and the inspirations of contemporary design, to give life to furnishing elements that speak an original, elegant and multifaceted language.

We visited the Sovet headquarters in Biancade, in the province of Treviso, during our Salbini Experience by Tom Landy II in December 2021.

Ditre Italia

The wide range of Ditre Italia products includes sofas, beds, armchairs, tables, chairs and furnishing accessories characterized by a singular attention to detail and refined elegance.

We visited the Ditre Italia showroom in December 2021, during our Salbini Experience.

Redone ArteLab

Redone uses precious woods, or centuries-old woods, obtaining tables, coffee tables, bathroom tops, where the resins and the extraordinary wood grain blend together to create an unrepeatable object.

We visited Redone ArteLab in December 2021, during our Salbini Experience by Tom Landy II.
