Dior's New Lily of the Valley Tableware Line Whisks You Off to the French Countryside

Exquisitely designed by Cordelia de Castellane, the essence and allure of spring are encapsulated through the clever use of colour and a delicate, lightness of design. An enchanting garden blooms in a stunning, charming shade of spring pea green, evocative of new flora sprouting to life, against the delicate, chic crispness of white. The minimalistic mix of just two colours that dress a more ornate, vintage feel, foliage motif, creates a sophisticated yet rustic, old-world elegance that still feels stylish and contemporary.   

Often referred to as a symbol of rebirth, the lily of the valley presents the perfect pick of flower to adorn the pieces, reflecting the spirit of springtime as the icy winter melts and the earth is reborn from the frost. The delightful, bell-shaped clusters make a bold, retro-contemporary statement in the glassware of the range, taking centre stage in a vivid, translucent green dotted with sublime white blossoms. Tying the range together, the beautiful silhouette of the lily of the valley is also seen printed onto wine glasses, adding interest, depth and a subtle hint of refined texture as the curves of the leaves trace the curvature of the bowl.  

Symbolism has always played an important role in Dior's design aesthetic. These exclusive creations draw inspiration from nature, in tribute to the maison's founder. A passion he developed from childhood, Monsieur Dior's love for flowers stemmed from the tender moments he spent at his mother's side in the rose garden in Granville, Normandy.

Echoing these bucolic memories, shamrocks gracefully decorate an apron, watering can, gloves tools and pots. Punctuated with a hand scripted "Chrisitan Dior" signature, lush shades of green, soft pinks, white and ochre bring to life the dreamy, botanical references that the House holds dear.
