Who is Dorion? As it turns out, the mysterious eponym of a young Brooklyn-based interiors firm doesn't exist. She is a fictive "esteemed older decorator," as Peter Dolkas describes her, one with a very real point of view.
Dolkas and Michelle Ficker, who cofounded Studio Dorion in 2020, met and became close while desk mates at the firm of ELLE DECOR A-List designer Billy Cotton. It was during that period that they were introduced to the homeowners of this Brooklyn brownstone and worked alongside Cotton with a mandate to "improve on empty." Five years later Dolkas and Ficker came back under their own steam to put a new spin on its interiors.
