new generation of young, ambitious artists and intellectuals intent on creating their own microcosm. It is the era of
creativity, of wine and cheese parties, and the burgeoning
downtown bohemian scene celebrates itself with French
gourmet food. Giorgio Deluca, the son of Italian immigrants, quits his job as a history teacher after only a few
months and decides to wash his hands of the sordid educational system. Having grown up in an extraordinarily
rich culinary environment courtesy of his father, a grocer,
who specialized in importing European food products,
young Deluca decides that the family business may have
potential and opens a small cheese shop in SoHo. Within
a couple of months, Giorgio has become “Mr. Cheese” to
the neighborhood artists.

range of products and reopens at a new location close by,
taking his friend Joel Dean on board: Dean & Deluca are
born. From day one, Dean & Deluca targeted a discerning
clientele with a keen taste both for gourmet food and aesthetics. And this in an era when food in America came
predominantly out of the freezer and stores were almost
exclusively decorated with plastic trimmings. Quick and
convenient were the marketing slogans of the day and
food products were judged by price not quality.
Dean & Deluca did not just want to become a name on a
can of exotic spices. The brand was supposed to stand for
a way of life, for quality and aesthetics. At the same time,
Deluca was careful not to become too chic, too offbeat,
too trendy. At all costs he wanted to avoid being labeled a
snob, knowing that would have had short-lived potential
at best.
“We wanted to offer products we were convinced
were the very best. And display them in surroundings that did them and their provenance justice.”
It would appear that Deluca has remained true to type
over the years. Maybe this is the result of all the hard
work he put into his personal and professional life: success was not handed to him on a platter.
Even today, Deluca is surprised by their meteoric success that went far beyond his wildest dreams. And yet –
despite this success – his passion not only for his life’s
work, but also for quality and aesthetics in general has

The Silencio, which is inspired by a deeply strange theatre in the movie Mulholland Drice, is „lynchesk“ in the

David Lynch ist the second living artist, after Karl Lagerfeld, who creates Dom Pérignons’ new camapgne.
Dom Pérignon ist the house of Champagne, that has the
highest demand of creativity and art on its campagne
and advertising strategy. The last Andy Warhol Memorial
Edition, which was created in a collaboration with the
Central St Martin’s Design Lab is the perfect example for
their way of thinking and understatement. This is David
lynchs subtle interpretation of the goldwater.
