The Alcantara Interiors of the La Dolce Vita Orient Express Luxury Train
A symbol of innovation, refinement, and quality, Alcantara becomes an integral part of this vision, helping to define the material and stylistic language of the train’s interiors.
In this homage to the cultural heritage of the 1960s and 1970s, Alcantara stands out for its ability to merge tradition with modernity, technology with craftsmanship.
The result is a truly sensorial experience, embodying the spirit of travel and celebrating Italian savoir-faire in every detail.
The interiors are a tribute to exclusive luxury and sophisticated comfort: walls, decorative panels, and seating covered in Alcantara transform the spaces into elegant moving lounges. The soft, enveloping surfaces enhance the perception of intimacy and well-being, offering a unique tactile and visual experience.
The deep, rich tones of Alcantara from midnight blue to burgundy, ash gray to brown, contribute to a warm, refined, and timeless atmosphere.
Alcantara’s presence on board is not just an aesthetic choice, but a statement of shared values: attention to detail, a passion for design, and above all, a celebration of Made in Italy as a symbol of timeless excellence.
In dialogue with other materials such as brass and wood, Alcantara adds depth, elegance, and continuity to the interiors designed by Dimorestudio.
“Our vision for La Dolce Vita Orient Express was to create a design that feels inherently timeless — a balance between Italian heritage and contemporary style without losing authenticity,” say Britt Moran and Emiliano Salci of Dimorestudio. “Each space has been carefully designed to feel as though it has always belonged there, with subtle layers and details that invite discovery and convey a sense of exclusivity.”
La Dolce Vita Orient Express is a tribute to Italy and its timeless beauty.
Every stop along the route is a chapter in a story told through art, gastronomy and craftsmanship.
The result is a perfect balance between past and present: a journey through Italy’s wonders, where Alcantara becomes the guiding thread in a narrative woven from art, beauty and cultural identity.
