    Dimore Studio’s Emiliano Salci and Britt Moran, of one of the trendiest architectural firms around, are responsible for the discrete and refined interiors of the hotel Saint-Marc in Paris. We meet the pair as they discuss their inspirations and reflect on their latest venture. Hoteliers Nadia Murano and Denis Nourry, who own the Petit-Moulin in the Marais, have now opened the Hotel Saint-Marc, just across from the Opéra-Comique in Paris. With Dimore Studio in charge of design, this new Paris address has a warm feel and strong Art Deco influences. With a mahogany and velvet interior, orange-toned Seventies fabrics and Asian-inspired screens, it is typical of the Milanese duo’s signature style, mixing modern and vintage for a harmonious aesthetic that is warm and welcoming. We take a tour with the designers.
