An Italian designer, Sabbatini met Gio Ponti, who encouraged him to produce design pieces, exploring goldsmithing techniques. From 1956 to 1963, he was director of the Goldsmithing Design Department at Christofle in Paris.
His signature appears on refined tableware—cutlery, candlesticks, vases—as well as on sculptures that blend modernism and minimalism.
