SALONE DEL SALON

SALONE DEL SALON means “SPACE OF SPACE”. Both words form a pair. One of them symbolizes the old and east, while the other signifies the new and west. Representing not only the family’s inheritance in the design business, but also the integration of tradition and new generation, SALONE DEL SALON combines traditional spatial logic with narrative conceptual spatial concepts.
Born and grew up in a design family, Salone is deeply influenced by the cultural inheritance from his family, and has an innate passion for creativity. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Fashion Interior Design and a master’s degree in Surface & Textile Design from Istituto Marangoni, the top school of fashion and design. After graduation, he returned to China and then founded design studio SALONE DEL SALON, with offices in Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Zhengzhou and Foshan. With the integration of Oriental and Western cultures, he adopts multi-dimensional thinking in design practices. By applying artistic, fashionable spatial expressions and innovative systematic business models to projects, he tries to seek a balance between design aesthetics and commercial value.

As a rapidly rising designer in recent years, Salone endeavors to discover more possibilities of design through continuous innovation and an open, cross-disciplinary attitude, trying to open up a new inspiring path for the design studio. He works on a wide range of project typologies, including catering space, bar, brand retail store, corporate exhibition space, office, private clubhouse, etc. His creative works, where artistic expressions and cultural contexts are fused into spaces, won a host of international awards and also received widespread attention from global media. In addition, Salone is also an outstanding forward-looking investor. He is adept at connecting design with commerce, culture with consumption, space with community through product thinking, and advocates inclusive, interdisciplinary and sustainable business model innovation to enhance integration of city, economy, and life.
