Being part of one of the most powerful design families in Italy makes her a formidable observer. Marta Sala is niece of the fabulous Caccia Dominioni and has been exposed to this fascinating world throughout her life. In 2015, this Milanese woman felt inspired to start her own design firm, Marta Sala Éditions (MSÉ). In the space of two years, the acronym has become one of the best respected and most enticing on the international stage. With 25 years of family networking with the greats under her belt, Marta Sala has understood the need to revisit her heritage. To add a touch of the contemporary to the past, better understand and thereby revitalise it. Her aim is to protect the human element by surrounding herself with it as much as possible. This expressly encourages the development of knowledge, an essential microcosm linked to the precision of machines. At MSÉ, Marta Sala supervises production. In recent weeks, her work has been shown in Paris. This is the third time she has released a collection designed in collaboration with Rome architects Claudio Lazzarini and Carl Pickering. She appreciates their particular way of optimising usage and space. Marta Sala admires furniture and clever objects both at MSÉ and in her daily life. Those where the detail is as important as the overall look. Harry, Megan, Renoir, Guya: each has a personal story and specific characteristics starting with its name. Sometimes light, malicious, or funny, these creations are the very essence of Marta Sala. They are fascinating and personal as if they have emerged from an Alberto Savinio painting. A surreal interview with everyone’s favourite new designer at her Paris home.
