SSAM

Project

SSAM, originally established as a creative hub to connect highly skilled Italian manufacturers with international designers, has evolved into a distinguished platform in its own right. By collaborating with specialists across various fields, SSAM creates cutting-edge, limited-edition objects that blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics. Embracing the philosophy that "opportunity must create a product," SSAM is defined not by category but by its commitment to unparalleled provenance. Loopback fabrics are crafted on repurposed 1970s machinery using noble fibers like silk, cashmere, and camel hair. Hand-poured candles are designed by renowned perfumers, while wine is sourced from the prestigious Montepulciano vineyards in the Marche region. Each creation embodies the perfect fusion of heritage and modern innovation, showcasing SSAM’s dedication to exceptional quality and design.
