05 Sep Italian DNA
A new name at Alexander Lamont + Miles, Marta Sala has Italian design in her DNA, having formerly worked for her family business, Azucena, before setting up Marta Sala Editions in 2015.
Sala has forged creative partnerships with designers to produce a portfolio that has a distinctly Italian glamour, having worked with architects Lazzerini Pickering since 2015 on pieces such as the hexagonal ‘Lavinia’ armchair and footstool (below centre), the ‘Murena’ chair (below left) and the gently angled ‘Elizabeth’ sofa (above). She has lately added another name to the roster, Federico Peri, writing a new chapter for the brand.
Designer Timothy Mather included two Marta Sala Editions chairs ā ‘Lavinia’ and ‘Duodotta’ ā in his WOW!house scheme in 2023, which was sponsored by Alexander Lamont + Miles and Lauren Hwang New York. At Focus/23, you can see the brand’s work at close quarters once again in the Alexander Lamont + Miles showroom, which is hosting a special event (Tuesday 19 September, 4pm), where visitors can meet Marta Sala herself and find out more about the collection.
