Orient Express
Foremost among these design themes is the tantalizing redesign of the Orient Express which will debut in 2023. Conceptualized by Milan-based Dimorestudio, the luxe rail transit’s new interiors is a stunning homage to Italian Art & Design’s golden years, an articulation of its rebranding as Orient Express La Dolce Vita. Dimorestudio’s founding partners, Emiliano Salci and Britt Moran, married the old and the new, while maintaining the famed trains’ refined luxe vibe. To recreate the Orient Express aesthetic, start by picking an anchor color liȄted from the palette of Salci’s idols, artists Lucio Fontana and Enrico Castellani, against which you can stage key pieces from Gavel & Block’s lots.
