With their eclectic compositions of art, fashion and architecture, the Milanese designers Emiliano Salci and Britt Moran, founders of Dimorestudio, have cemented themselves as stars of the Italian design scene. Now the studio has designed the new Hotel Saint-Marc, opposite the Opera-Comique in the Second Arrondissement, and the result is highly impressive. Originally a townhouse built in 1791, the hotel comprises 26 rooms, each of which is furnished with vintage furniture, contemporary objects, colourful carpets, ornamental wallpaper and countless works of art. If David Lynch ever decided to make his own remake of ‘The Shining’, the Hotel Saint-Marc would prove the perfect backdrop.
