Paperweights that tell the future, by Salvatori

An evolution of the original Gravity paperweights, the Gravity Zodiac collection by Salvatori consists of 12 spheres, each associated with a zodiac sign, its ruling planet, as tone and consequently its unique energy. In today’s hectic world, understanding our own special energy and aligning it with the universe is important than ever.

The spheres are designed to rotate on a bronze base, recreating the heavenly bodies’ motion, and the bases are engraved with the zodiac sign the stone represents. The idea is to realign with each ruling planet’s energy by creating its small-scale version according to each celestial body’s characteristics and correlated zodiac sign. “It was a lengthy but fascinating process to study the signs of the zodiac and then scour the world to find the perfect stones to represent each of them,” says Gabriele Salvatori, CEO, Salvatori.

Stones and planets are astrologically connected. The stone draws energy from the planet with which it is associated and its energy is then transmitted back to us. The Zodiac Gravity along with the Spaghetti collection was recently displayed at the Milan Design Week 2021. On this occasion, Salvatori Boutique also opened their first retail store located just around the corner from their showroom in via Solferino. “This year’s Design Week feels like a reunion, a chance to reconnect with each other and that alone makes it a particularly special event. It feels like a rebirth as we prepare to get together once again and share our passions,” shares Gabriele.
