The ES728 is a chest of drawers from Dimoremilano's Limited Edition collection, signed by Emiliano Salci. Its architecture balances structural invention with accumulated time.
The piece reads through contrast: a body in dark blue lacquered wood, an organ-shaped backrest in polished reddish-brown wood, and four central drawers faced in rich burl walnut veneer. Two-tone handles in polished gold and dark metal accent each drawer pull. At the base and upper supports, geometric angles reinforce the cabinet's angular character without recourse to ornament.
Every exposed wood surface was finished using traditional Shellac polishing, a technique that deepens the color and grain without sealing the texture behind a protective coat. The gold-plated top reflects the same precision in finish as the drawers below.
The piece carries material history: the drawers, the organ-shaped backrest, and the handles were preserved from two separate furniture items dating to the 1940s. Salci's practice across the Limited Edition collection works this way consistently, locating components with their own object biographies, then building around them rather than replacing them.

About
Dimoremilano
Britt Moran and Emiliano Salci founded Dimoremilano in Milan, where their studio Dimorestudio continues to operate at the same address where the practice began. Moran, originally from North Carolina, came to design through graphic arts. Salci, born in Arezzo, Tuscany, worked as art director at Cappellini before the two met and began their collaboration in the city that shaped their work.
Dimoremilano does not separate decoration from architecture. The practice builds interiors from mid-century objects and furniture of their own making, drawing in modern art as a counterweight to the new. A salvaged sideboard and a painting share visual weight with custom metalwork: the room becomes a single argument rather than a series of choices. Their interiors resist easy categorization, sitting closer to antiquarian discipline than to contemporary styling.
This sensibility extends to the studio's furniture objects. The Limited Edition collection presents seven unique pieces, each built from furniture salvaged from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Salci deconstructs these objects and reassembles them with new lacquers and polished gold-plated brass hardware, using Shellac polishing techniques that reconnect the finished work to traditional craft. The collection was presented at Dimorecentrale during Milan Design Week 2024.
All seven works from the Limited Edition collection are exclusively available through Monde Singulier.
