The Dior Medallion Chair

For the Salone del Mobile, in Milano, Dior Maison invited seventeen artists to reinterpret one of its iconic emblems: the medallion chair. A symbol of Louis XVI style that Christian Dior chose as soon as he founded his House, in order to seat guests at his fashion shows in a “sober, simple, and above all classic and Parisian” décor, as he recounted in his memoirs.

The essential oval, surmounted by a Fontanges bow, has become one of the major codes of 30 Avenue Montaigne, the beating heart of Dior.
