WEST CHELSEA by Dimorestudio

DISCOVER WEST CHELSEA BY DIMORESTUDIO

Dimorestudio, the architecture and interior design studio founded by Britt Moran and Emiliano Salci, celebrates its 20th anniversary and, among the events planned throughout 2023, one of the highlights is the full takeover of Artemest Galleria New York. The designer duo presents WEST CHELSEA, a museum-like exhibition featuring an exclusive capsule collection of one-of-a-kind furniture pieces designed by Dimorestudio, as well as a curated selection of Artemest pieces hand-picked by the Milan-based studio.

The mood of the exhibition was inspired by the America of the 1960s and 1970s, both in terms of colors and furniture finishes. The reference of the project are the large American working environments of that period, those of Billy Wilder's 1960 film "The Apartment" or Colin Higgins' 1980 film "Nine to Five".

MEET THE DESIGNERS

Founded in Milan in 2003 by Britt Moran and Emiliano Salci, Dimorestudio is a global architectural and design studio that spans residential, retail and hospitality projects, in addition to furnishings, textile and lighting designs under the name of Dimoremilano. Dimorecentrale, the new headquarter, is the heart of the business for the 40-plus person team as well as for Dimoregallery, the evocative setting which features rotating installations and collections of the great masters of the 20th century and contemporary designers since 2014.

Moran, a North Carolina-born former graphic designer, and Salci, a former art director at Cappellini who was born in Arezzo in Tuscany, are a perfect fusion of talents. The story of their journey began in the same Milan location where Dimorestudio currently operates and it developed and grew – year after year – thanks to a skilful combination of decoration, objects, modern art, important mid-century pieces, and finally, elements and spaces that they designed and produced themselves.

Dimorestudio interprets memories and creates dreams. They are storytellers and experience builders, creating designs and atmospheres that recollect. A juxtaposition of contexts, spaces and elements that evoke emotion. A nonlinear narrative blurring nostalgia, present sensations and hopes. Pairing, mixing and matching different time periods using artisanal techniques transmitted through generations.
