The designer dresses salvador with its unique and fun graphics. Fausto Puglisi, born in Sicily but always fascinated by the American culture, has a style characterized by refined cultural influences, modern and sensual, with strong references to the romance of the past. The classicism of ancient Roman sculptures, the opulence of baroque, hedonism of Bacchanal and even contemporary Hollywood binge and couture of the 50’s, are all sources of continuous inspiration that you can pick up in the interpretation chosen for his salvador chair.
