Lagrange12

With custom made furniture inspired by famous artists, Dimorestudio designed the interiors of Lagrange12, a shop in Turin that recalls the Italian design from the ‘30s and ‘40s.

Dimorestudio has collaborated with Lagrange12, a new luxury multibrand boutique that opened within a historical seventeenth century palazzo in the centre of Turin, with an interior area of some eight hundred square metres over two floors, five entrances of which three are on Via Lagrange and two on Via Giolitti.

 

The Milan-based studio has created three spaces on the ground floor and the entire first floor of the store, with an atmosphere that combines luxury and Art Deco which mixes abstract, custom made geometric shapes and 1950s heritage furniture. The materials were inspired by the language of Italian design from the 1930s and 1940s, with green glass, oxidised steel, polished steel and black painted iron, used and treated in a very modern way, to underline the sheer grandeur of a historical building.

The decoration in natural brass linear profiles highlight the architectonic elements of the rooms, from the floor skirting to the wall decoration, clad in Alcantara® panels, connecting to the decorative line in polished steel of the sculptural structures that function as hanger rails. These in turn reflect and connect with the polished steel ‘joints’ of the flooring, which mark out the intersection of the various flooring materials in carpet, grey polished cement, black resin and black granite.

Amongst the custom-made furniture for the project, two are recurrent in the rooms. The modular structures act as hanger rails, finished in black painted iron with a polished steel joint, which are derived from an inspiration of the large sculptural works by American artist Oscar Tuazon, and from the symbolic monumental ‘spiders’ by the artist Louise Bourgeois. The large trunk-containers hark back to memories of the 1920s and 30s, with shelves or small hanger rails, clad externally in bronzed mirror and internally with delicate silk.

The corridors and the brushed steel staircase that connect the ground and first floors represent an element of continuity non only between the two floors but between the rooms. Entirely executed with green ming marble floors and ceilings, and walls in a glossy yellow painted finish, they are illuminated by custom designed lamps for the space.
