DIMOREGALLERY is part of the 2nd edition of the BEIRUT DESIGN FAIR, dedicated to collectible and limited edition contemporary or historical furniture and design objects.
The exhibiting space exudes Italian elegance, combining muted pink hued walls and gold detailing, with a sophisticated mix of historical and contemporary pieces.
Furnishings and lamps created by Design Masters from the past century, such as Giò Ponti, Marco Zanuso, Gabriella Crespi, coexist with others designed and manufactured by DIMORESTUDIO.
Museum quality pieces showcased include a briarwood bookcase and armchairs by Giò Ponti; a sofa upholstered in burgundy velvet and two armchairs in light blue satin and burgundy detailing by Marco Zanuso; a Cityscape low table by Paul Evans; and two Scultura tables by Gabriella Crespi. One of them is oval-shaped and made of steel and brass, whilst the other is a smaller version made of bronze and brass. Both are DIMOREGALLERY exclusives.

DIMOREGALLERY the second floor of a 18th century Milanese Palazzo, has been transformed into an 8-room gallery where iconic mid-century collectable pieces coexist with contemporary items selected from the international design scene or designed by them. Each room emanates different atmospheres: the visitor experiences nostalgia, joy, surprise, hope and much more. DIMOREGALLERY aesthetics refers to a realm where classic and contemporary, elegance and glamour, bold colours and pastel palette, ancient fabrics and futuristic textures, mix to perfection. Every mid-century piece has its own raison d’être: each one is the result of careful research, each one is chosen for the role it has in design history and for its strong connection to function and form. Every contemporary item selected from the DIMORESTUDIO collections – Progetto Non Finito (furniture) Progetto Tessuti (fabrics), Progetto Verande (outdoor), Oggetti (decorative objects), Limited Edition (one-off furnishing designed by Emiliano Salci for DIMORESTUDIO) – or created by talented designers has its own language through style, material and aesthetic.
