pORTO TOWNHOUSE
The Porto Townhouse Cedofeita project, conceived by the duo Garcé and Dimofski, stands as a poetic dance between the old and the new. Nestled in the heart of Porto, in the vibrant Cedofeita district, the townhouse whispers stories of the past, this 1893’s villa has been transformed to reflect the owner’s passion for contemporary art and design.
With careful attention to every detail, Garcé and Dimofski have created a space connecting tradition with modernity where contemporary architecture harmoniously dialogues with artisanal heritage —ceramicists, carpenters, metalworkers— each of whom brings their unique craftsmanship to every detail, locally crafted in Portugal with sustainable sourced wood.
lA MAISON DU COLLECTIONNEUR
The 1,752-square-foot showroom was renovated with a focus on simple geometries and natural materials. This scheme complements Invisible Collection’s eclectic offering and commitment to timeless quality. The salon of sorts is characterized by subtle deco details that are unquestionably French in style. This new design venue—running adjacent to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, other Museum Mile institutions, and a more entrenched set of art galleries—promises to be a valuable destination for collectors, architects, and interior designers looking to spec specific items.
ANJOS
This apartment is part of a building that has been built in the famous and renowned rua dos Anjos in Lisbon. Following the principles of Pombaline architecture, it has the particularity to incorporate a small palace on the lower floors and luxury apartments on the upper floors. In spite of the different occupations in the last two centuries, its interior kept a big spatial, constructive and decorative quality.
GREENWICH RESIDENCE
Garcé and Dimofski, with the help of a group of friends and gallerists, along with the photographer Sean Davidson, turned their apartment into a showcase for design.
“The main intention was to bring together a group of friends, but it was also to present Ian’s new collection in a living environment,” Garcé says. “The task was to create new works, assemble forgotten pieces, and open up conversation as to how these components would live together in the same place. Clio and I live on the third floor of a light-flooded prewar brownstone, the perfect stage for such a collaboration.”
EXHIBITION
“MENSAGEM”
The collection will be staged within an iconic place in Portugal, with playful furniture and Each will symbolize the emotional evolution of the language.
Furniture pieces featured in the exhibition will include two chairs from Minjae Kim, luminaires from Garance Vallée, a coffee table by Ian Felton, and a sofa designed by Garcé & Dimofski. These works were developed at the same time, with a common story, driven by this desire to let the furniture communicate between each others.
ECLECTICISM
Imagined by Garcé & Dimofski and inspired by Pierre Le-Tan's lithographs, Eclecticism highlights an exceptional French savoir-faire through creations conceived and developed by several contemporary designers including Ian Felton, Minjae Kim, Garance Vallée, as well as our own Design Studio and which are surrounded by surrealist objects from R & Company.. This scenography poetically approaches the idea of a figurative universe inspired by Pierre Le-Tan's lithographs, featured on the covers of several magazines. This aesthetic game reflecting different styles and eras is the result of exceptional French savoir-faire.
