Furniture Design: Miss Dior, the Dior Medallion Chair by Philippe Starck

While surfing today on internet I found this beautiful chair. It's called Miss Dior, the Dior Medallion Chair imagined by industrial architect Philippe Starck. What a timeless elegance. 100% aluminium and rose cupper, made in Italy. I hope you're inspired!


MISS DIOR, THE DIOR MEDALLION CHAIR IMAGINED BY PHILIPPE STARCK

“Some have searched all their lives for the little black dress, I have always dreamed of the perfect little chair. This icon of perfection clearly exists in our collective unconscious, in the form of the Louis XVI Medallion chair and its magic oval, which is one of the symbols of the House of Dior. Everything has always brought me back to this chair.”
Philippe Starck

More about the interior designer:
Philippe Starck is a French industrial architect and designer known for his wide range of designs including interior design, architecture, household objects, furniture, boats and other vehicles.

On the occasion of the Salone del Mobile 2022 in Milan, Dior Maison joined forces with Philippe Starck for the first time and invited him to reinterpret the Medallion chair. A symbol of the Louis XVI style, dear to Christian Dior.

The internationally renowned creator, famous for his visionary and poetic works, combines the fundamentals of the House with a savoir-faire pushing back the limits of excellence. For Dior, he dreamed up a version called Miss Dior, a tribute to a certain kind of femininity imbued with bold elegance. Driven by a “passion du minimum”, he has refined the structure of the famous seat to the extreme, seeking the absolute purity of its silhouette, emphasized even more by the lightness of aluminum, of which Philippe Starck values the nobility and durability, as well as its precious simplicity.
