ACHILLE SALVAGNI ATELIER
Achille Salvagni Atelier stands at the intersection of architecture, design, and art, translating classical Roman heritage into a language of contemporary elegance. Founded by Achille Salvagni, the award-winning studio and collectable design gallery is celebrated for its refined aesthetic, exceptional craftsmanship, and timeless sophistication. From residential and yacht interiors to sculptural limited-edition pieces, Salvagni’s work embodies modern opulence and meticulous attention to detail. With galleries in Mayfair and on Madison Avenue, the Atelier continues to redefine what it means to collect and live with design, elevating the everyday into the extraordinary.
Carpenters Workshop Gallery
Carpenters Workshop Gallery is celebrated for producing and exhibiting functional sculptures that blur the line between art and design. Founded by Julien Lombrail and Loïc Le Gaillard, the gallery champions both emerging and established talents who challenge creative boundaries. With spaces in London, Paris, New York, and San Francisco, each known for immersive, museum-quality exhibitions, the gallery has become synonymous with craftsmanship, innovation, and emotional resonance. Always ones to create striking showcases, both at international fairs and within their own galleries, Carpenters Workshop continues to define the landscape of collectable design.
Objects With Narratives
Objects With Narratives (OWN) is a functional art gallery dedicated to the storytelling of today’s rarefied craftsmen. Representing a select group of contemporary artists who fuse traditional techniques with modern sensibilities, OWN champions design that goes beyond aesthetics to forge emotional connections between creators and collectors. Offering bespoke commissions, limited editions, and site-specific installations, the gallery redefines collectable design as a narrative experience rather than a purely visual one. Following last year’s spectacular showcase, OWN returns to PAD London with another thoughtfully curated presentation that invites visitors to explore the stories behind the objects.
SARAH MYERSCOUGH GALLERY
Founded in 1998, Sarah Myerscough Gallery is a leading voice in contemporary craft and material-led design, representing artists who work at the intersection of craft, sculpture, and design. The gallery’s programme explores our relationship with natural materials, particularly wood, combining traditional craftsmanship with innovative techniques that challenge convention.
Always one to impress with its global showcases, Sarah Myerscough returns to PAD London 2025 with a larger stand featuring exceptional works by Adi Toch, Aldo Bakker, Eleanor Lakelin, Ernst Gamperl, Gareth Neal, Julian Watts, Nic Webb, and more.
HERVÉ VAN DER STRAETEN
Renowned for his sculptural expression and precision craftsmanship, Hervé Van der Straeten creates one-of-a-kind and limited-edition pieces defined by bold lines and graphic purity. Crafted in his Parisian workshops by master artisans, each work reflects a commitment to excellence and innovation.
This year, the gallery presents highlights from the Antidote collection, a vibrant series defined by shimmering lacquers, acid tones, and architectural compositions that showcase Van der Straeten’s mastery of form and material.
As PAD London continues to celebrate the intersection of art, design, and collectable craftsmanship, this year’s edition stands as a testament to creativity in all its refined and expressive forms. From contemporary icons and design masters to emerging talents redefining materiality and form, our highlights offer just a glimpse of what awaits at the fair.
