Salvarani Design Team

Jakob Gamborg

Born and educated in Denmark, Jakob heads the design team of Salvarani Australia.  

He continues to travel throughout Europe attending exhibitions and conferences which showcase the latest designs and trends in kitchens and interior design.

The unique Italian style of Salvarani, coupled with Jakob’s award-winning design and inspiration is a powerful combination.  The result? Contemporary kitchens which combine functionality with style and elegance. Intelligent use of available space throughout the rest of the home with an overriding attention to styling detail  is a hallmark of Jakob’s designs which create a harmonious simplicity that simply looks and feels ‘right’.

Sanne Pedersen

A deep understanding of complementary shapes, sizes and colours is something Sanne studied as a successful fashion designer.  As a qualified interior designer the ability to bring together a collection of materials and appliances to create a ‘look’ is what attracted her to an appreciation of the design principles of Salvarani – a byword for style and practicality.

If what we wear is a reflection of who we are, nothing could be more accurate when it comes to designing the family’s kitchen  - the heart and soul of the home.  Sanne really listens to, and understands, the family  who she is designing for.  Her talent brings her clients dreams to a reality.

Maria Frutos

If a combination of European influences is the overriding success of the Salvarani range then Maria was destined to be a designer.  Born in France, educated in Belgium and Spain  then attended university in England.  She then made the best move of her life – to study interior design in Australia.

With years of practical application in design, management and countless domestic building  projects she is indeed a rare breed – an inspired designer with a practical approach to budget and getting the job done on time.  Clients adore her.  

Lisa Carroll

Youngest of four children Lisa remembers being constantly in the kitchen helping her mum.  And loving it.  As an adult she studied at the School of International Colour and Design in Sydney and translated that knowledge back to the kitchen – not only the heart of a home but she believes the essence.  “Whenever women are involved in buying  or renovating a home, top of the list is always the kitchen.  I am constantly inspired and amazed by the innovations in kitchen design and can’t wait to share them with my clients.”  

Because Lisa has lived all her life on the Northern Beaches, and has three children of her own, she has a real feel for the practical necessities and style of a well designed kitchen to suit the beaches lifestyle.

Studio Castiglia

The award winning Castiglia Associati designer studio was established in 1982 by Sergio Castiglia, Marinella Santarelli and Maria Tiziana Tazza. Since then, it has been mainly dealing with industrial design in the field of interior design, focusing particularly on product design and manufacturing processes. Since 2005, Castiglia Associati has had a successful relationship with Salvarani and a leading influence in the art direction of its kitchen and wardrobe designs.

Castiglia’s close association with Salvarani has resulted in several successful architectural development projects around the world in recent years, involving themselves in various stages of the project, therefore ensuring that Salvarani large scale projects are delivered with the consistent expectation of detail to quality and confidence in workmanship.
