“Design is all about simplicity, creativity and evolution,” explains Salvatori CEO Gabriele Salvatori, “with Rain, we have all three.‎” The newly launched texture is a continuation of Lissoni’s previous explorations into Japanese design, an elegant motif that comes from his longstanding fascination with the country’s natural imagery and deep respect for the delicate principles that have long ruled Japan’s historic creative output.‎

“Piero has taken our original Bamboo, which was inspired by a placemat in a Japanese restaurant almost two decades ago,” says Gabriele of the design, which, like many of Lissoni’s projects for Salvatori also comes from their longstanding friendship and decades-long collaboration, “and created a new texture which takes the simple fluid lines as a starting point and then expands them.‎” This latest project pushes that aesthetic of his previous design even further, honing and refining it to an even more sophisticated profile.‎
