Placemat and Napkin Set

'A small, bustling beehive, that's what my house was when I presented my first collection,' writes Christian Dior in his memoir, affectionately describing the ateliers at 30 Avenue Montaigne and the gestures of the seamstresses, conscientious and busy like a passionate and masterful swarm. Today, the majestic bee is featured — alongside ladybugs and butterflies, magical symbols of metamorphosis — on a series of creations by Cordelia de Castellane. A celebration of the art of hosting dear to Mr. Dior, the exceptional pieces are subtly enhanced by a 24-carat gold border, an homage to the precious metal that has radiated the timeless audacity and innovation of the House since its debut. Plates in unique shapes, table linens, glassware and decorative objects showcase the captivating design in golden tones. This collection embodies a love letter to nature and gardens.
