Dana called it, and I‘ll bashfully (though gladly) concede, I’m a bit of a Dimore Studio tragic. To me, the Milanese team are masters of colour, tone and detail, consistently delivering delicious projects that merge the past with the present in a new classic splendour. It’s always a challenge to imagine where they’d go next and their latest retail project does not disappoint.

Lagrange12, a new multi-brand boutique in Turin, Italy, sprawls across two floors to serve up nothing but pure shopping and sensory pleasure. Housing luxury brands, this is a space that is highly tactile and elegantly eccentric. Unexpected combinations of colour and layers of Art-Deco-inspired finishes run amok here. Yet, there is a balance in the dramatic contrasts throughout a generously proportioned space.

Brushed steel stairs are surrounded by high gloss yellow-coated walls, and lit up by custom sconces paired together, in true Dimore Studio’s style. Sumptuously upholstered wall panels are flourished with brass shadow lines that extend to further elongate the ceiling’s lofty heights, and the walkways are expressed by stunning ming green marble reveals that are intricately detailed with mitred corners.

In the showrooms, the marble and brass details continue throughout, but are joined with even more gorgeously considered elements. The Art Deco inspired material selections are blended with classic furniture from the 40’s and 50’s providing that re-imagined new-world-feel that we know and love.

Geometry and proportion play a big role in adding to the grandiose feeling of the space. Dramatic black iron, brass and stainless steel frames stretch across the rooms to suspend garments. This maze-like structure of the display rails also suggests navigation around a floor that is divided into angled panels of carpet, grey polished cement, black resin and black granite. Taking centre stage are the free standing bronze joinery displays, each detailed within an inch of its life to contain silk-lined interiors and looped shelf fixings for all the small items.

I’m loving the play on angles across the floor, joinery, display table and ceiling detailing. Somehow, the Dimore team have managed to throw linear thought and conventional design principles out the window and still achieve a result that comes together neatly with brilliant coherence. With this project like this, the more you look at it, the more details you’ll discover.
