Countertop Basin Anima
Natural materials are exactly that: natural, and as such no two pieces will be identical. Please bear this in mind when looking at the indicative images in this gallery.
If you would like to see our products at first hand, please contact one of our authorised dealers who will also be happy to provide advice and assistance relating to installation, maintenance and ongoing support.
“The sensibilities of clay to marble”
Designers Glenn Pushelberg and George Yabu describe their Anima collection as the result of applying “the sensibilities of clay to marble”. A translation of the Italian word for “soul”, it does indeed strip stone down to its true essence, emphasising its sensuousness and spiritual qualities.
The gentle curves of each piece create a sense of tranquillity and a world in which the bathroom is a true haven of wellbeing for the mind and body, far away from the maelstrom of the world outside.
Each basin is carved from a single piece of gorgeous natural stone, sculpted and honed to create its robust yet delicate outline, then hand-finished by our Tuscan artisans.
Available in Bianco Carrara, Crema d’Orcia, Pietra d’Avola, Gris du Marais® and Silk Georgette®.
The Anima countertop basin is compatible with wall-mounted tapware.
On the shores of Lake Garda
Lake Garda, where the placid water, mountains and sky are balanced in an elemental harmony, has long been a source of inspiration for writers and thinkers. Despite changing hands between the French, Austrians and various Italian states, little has changed for the largest Italian lake since Catullus and Dante, Byron, Goethe and Tennyson were drawn here by the surprisingly temperate climate and the scent of the hardy citrus trees; the water as famously clear and tranquil now as when the Romans, 2000 years ago, founded one of the best preserved ancient sites in northern Italy.
Paris is always a good idea
Whether it’s for business or pleasure, your first time in the city or your tenth, one cannot come to Paris without taking some time to walk along the dark green waters of the Seine. Lined by some of the best examples of mid-19th century Haussmannian-style buildings, and offering postcard views of the city’s famous sights – the bridges, river islands and Notre Dame; the d’Orsay and Louvre museums – the Seine flows through the heart of the city. The Salvatori hotel, situated just north of the river, nestled in the winding streets of the Marais, is ideally located for an early morning stroll along its banks.

Connection: a playlist by New York designers Yabu Pushelberg
“We were delighted to have been asked to assemble a playlist for Salvatori, we didn’t know where to begin. What many of us might want to listen to right now are simpler thoughts or feelings rather than a message-focused list.
We decided to go with songs that centre around human emotion and real acts of affection.
