Dior’s latest home decor line blends the essence of Japanese culture with the characteristic refinement of French tradition. While some fashion houses venture into new areas like beauty and lifestyle for greater visibility and profit, others like Versace Home, Fendi Casa, Missoni Home, and Louis Vuitton’s Cabinet of Curiosities, demonstrate that expanding into the home goods market can be an equally profitable artistic direction. In this context, sharing a taste for both avant-garde and traditional styles, Dior’s Les Cerisiers collection highlights Christian Dior’s deep connection to Japan.
Inspired by Christian Dior’s profound affinity for Japan, the Les Cerisiers collection exemplifies this approach. By exploring the brand’s roots and heritage, the collection pays homage to the Spring/Summer 1953 haute couture collection titled Jardin Japonais, incorporating motifs of birds on blossoming cherry trees.
The pieces in the Les Cerisiers collection, such as candlesticks, decorative plates, delicate glasses, and embroidered tablecloths, reflect the brand’s enduring admiration for different lands and cultures, featuring exquisite details like 24-karat gold finishes on plates and hand-painted glasses produced in Italy. The subtle designs of cherry blossom branches, occasionally highlighted in raffia, add a charming and sophisticated touch to the collection.
Maison Dior frequently uses its roots and heritage to launch new creations. In 2021, Dior’s Constellation collection presented a clear nod to the stars with celestial motifs and zodiac-inspired prints. Now, for the Les Cerisiers line, astrology and superstition have been replaced by enchanting florals and delicate pastel motifs inspired by Monsieur Dior’s admiration for Japan’s rich cultural heritage.
