DIMORE STUDIO

Atmosphere as Material 

Your installation Un Souffle de Vent draws inspiration from Georges Perec’s Les Choses. What spoke to you in this text, and how did you translate its atmosphere into a spatial experience?

Perec’s Les Choses reflects on the relationship between objects and human desire, revealing how everyday life is shaped by accumulation, routines, and the pursuit of meaning through material things. What moved us most was this sense of suspension—the way desire and longing coexist with stillness, and how the ordinary can become poetic. The installation initially began from the floor, almost as if emerging from the ground, helping us anchor this ethereal idea within a physical space. We were not illustrating the book, but rather capturing its breath—the fleeting quality that drifts through objects and images. The space becomes a quiet narrative composed of minimal presences, subtle shifts of light, and gentle rhythms that invite visitors to slow down and experience the poetry of the everyday.

Dimorestudio is known for sculptural forms, tactile surfaces, and a balance between restraint and decorative richness. How does this new collection evolve that language, especially now that the pieces are recontextualised in Paris?

Our language doesn’t change; it refines itself. We remove rather than add, allowing gesture, form, and material to speak with greater clarity. Recontextualising the collection in Paris introduces new nuances: proportions engage more directly with the architecture, surfaces gain depth, and the pieces reveal another, quieter dimension of themselves.

Your ongoing collaboration with Yves Salomon Éditions has grown into a creative dialogue. How does partnering with a house rooted in exceptional savoir-faire shape your approach to this project?

Working with a maison like Yves Salomon means engaging with quality as a cultural gesture. It’s not about luxury, but about precision, authenticity, and a deep understanding of materials. Their savoir-faire allows us to push the tactile boundaries of our interiors, exploring textures that become almost narrative in nature. The collaboration is built on trust. It’s not a simple addition of two perspectives, but a shared language that emerges in the space between their mastery and our vision.

Themes of impermanence, memory, and quiet timelessness run through the installation. What role does emotion play in your interiors, and how did the idea of “a breath of wind” guide your decisions?

Emotion is the true material we work with. A breath of wind is almost invisible, yet capable of transforming everything. We wanted the installation to possess that same quality—where a slight vibration, a soft reflection, or a gentle shift in light can alter perception.

For us, emotion is never declared; it is suggested. The wind becomes a passage, a trace. We shaped the space using light elements, responsive surfaces, and subtle movements that accompany visitors rather than direct them, leaving behind an echo that lingers after the experience.
