Fashion I like Gucci for courage and emotionality, Armani for flawless patterns and smoky shades, Premiata for the most comfortable sneakers in the world. Perfume: in my early youth, I loved the fragrance Tuscany Per Uomo of the Aramis brand, I wear it from 16 years old and until now. And let it be not Italian, but American flavor, but for me it is associated with the fervor of Italy, the beauty and harmony of the beloved Tuscany.

Textiles and brass Much defines textiles. Fabrics from Dedar and Rubelli are frequent guests in my projects, I appreciate them for their scale and ability to make an impression without drawing attention to themselves. I do many things contrary to the trends, because I understand their short-term well. In particular, from the general fascination with brass and combining elements of minimalism with Art Deco and the mid-century in one project, I already have teeth cracked.

Who sets the tone? The Dimorestudio showroom on Via Solferino in Milan gives a trip to the world of free and irrepressible fantasy. Designers inimitably mix old and new, piling up design over art and vintage finds. Rodolfo Dordoni speaks in a more universal design: a modern aestheticist, feeling proportioned and virtuously working with a palette, his choice of colors is ascetic but very precise.

Impulses I am interested in trends that expand the choice of tools for creating interiors. For example, they impose flexible, lightweight, easy-to-use materials that allow you to create three-dimensional seamless surfaces.
