The title of today’s post, The Louche Life, may conjure for many a disreputable association, but I intend it in the most complimentary way, in the sense that “louche” signals a seductive hedonism in the realm of the interior as theater for sensory pleasure and delight. If sexy interiors make you squirm, do not proceed further!

Interior design stars and longtime friends and business partners of Dimore Studio, American Britt Moran and Italian Emiliano Salci, recently moved from their 18th-century courtyard apartment on the via Soferino in Milan to an austere 1930’s apartment overlooking the densely wooded park of Palazzo Cicogna, very near to the elegant Villa Necchi designed by Piero Portaluppi in the 1930’s, featured in the 2009 film I Am Love. The modernist constraints of their new apartment encouraged the design duo to embrace a more modern and daring approach than they had in the past. A quality of 1960’s elegance and glamour pervades the richly appointed rooms, layered with an eclectic mix of old and new within an envelope of brilliant and unexpected color combinations. Expressing a disdain for minimalism, Moran and Salci embrace richly layered rooms that combine the best of comfort and elegance with an edge of modern glamour. This approach, for me, is the future of modernism – a soulful antidote to Le Corbusier’s “machine for living”.

Two people – both highly successful designers’ in their fields – instantly came to mind when I laid my eyes upon these rooms: the Yves Saint Laurent and Francois Catroux of the early 1970’s. Their is a seductive, exotic bohemian quality to these rooms that elicit visions of Saint Laurent dressed in his military-inspired khaki shirt with cravet and flared pants accented with a thin belt, and Catroux alongside his wife and Saint Laurent muse, Betty, dressed similarly. In fact, if Saint Laurent were breaking into the fashio

Michael Landy: Michael Landy's Welcome to Essex, Firstsite, Essex

Firstsite will present a new body of work by Michael Landy that explores the recent history of his home county, Essex, and its contemporary portrayal in popular culture. The exhibition will unpack stereotypes of the county and question the influence of the media in conjunction with political agendas, in forming regional and national identities and often harmful stereotypes that deviate from on-the-ground reality.

For Welcome to Essex Landy has created an archive entitled Essexism which will occupy several of Firstsite’s gallery spaces. The archive highlights the stereotyping of the county’s population, into figures such as ‘Essex Man’ and ‘Essex Girl’ and comprises of clips from TV shows and films, plus books, magazine articles, music and newspaper articles from the last 30 years. Landy will also look to the history of Essex, such as the Plotlanders, who in the early 20-century went from London’s East End to self-build small houses on unwanted farm land in places such as Dunton, near Basildon. 

Connecting this history to experienced reality, Landy has been exploring Essex on foot, taking a series of walks around the county with notable cultural figures from Essex. Conversations undertaken and locations visited will be represented in the show in a new commission on Firstsite’s 140-metre curved internal wall.

Exhibition dates: 25 June - 5 September 2021
