Maison Dior often uses their roots and heritage to inform the house’s future offerings. This was done in 2019 with the “Check’N’Dior”, a homeware collection that saw references to founder Christian Dior’s penchant for superstitious keepsakes. In 2021, the Dior “Constellation” collection showcased a clear nod to the stars with celestial motifs and zodiac-inspired prints. For Dior’s “Les Cerisiers” Line, astrology and superstition were replaced with enchanting florals, and delicate pastel motifs inspired by Dior’s admiration for Japan’s cultural wealth.

With a homage to the house’s heritage, the “Les Cerisiers” collection takes inspiration from Dior’s Spring/Summer 1953 haute couture ensemble dubbed “Jardin Japonais”, which is sublimated by a bird motif on a cherry blossom tree. “Les Cerisiers” sees a range of reimagined homeware essentials, including decorative candle holders, elaborate dishes, delicate glassware and embroidered table linens representing the brand’s everlasting awe of foreign lands. Each piece features immaculate details — from the 24-carat gold trim of a dinner plate to Italian-made hand-painted pink water glass. The series of essential pieces features subtle sketches of cherry blossom branches that are sometimes enhanced with raffia.
