Dior Maison: 7, Jules Sandeau

Dior Maison: 7, Jules Sandeau – Dior presents a collection in homage to Christian Dior’s Paris apartment

“Without further ado, without even consulting the architect, I gave my approval and devoted everything I had to decorating my new home.” Such is how Christian Dior describes his love affair with his apartment at 7, Boulevard Jules Sandeau, in the 16^th arrondissement of Paris.

Fascinated by this passion for art de vivre, Cordelia de Castellane drew inspiration from this unique address – and notably from wallpaper decorated with flowers and birds – to embellish her latest collection for Dior Maison.

Elegant designs depicting clematis, peonies, dahlias, and swallows are enclosed inside carafes and decorative balls or transposed onto porcelain plates, and hand-painted placemats in natural linen. Three candleholders in matching shades further complete this line that combines heritage and modernity, echoing the lifestyle Monsieur Dior cultivated:“Living in a house that doesn’t look like you,” the couturier observed, “is a bit like wearing someone else’s clothes.”
