PHOTO COURTESY OF DIOR
Monsieur Christian Dior famously adored the unhurried pleasures of sun, sea and beautiful surroundings. This season, Dior's Dioriviera capsule channels that spirit directly into the home, bringing warmth, charm and colour into everyday living. Realised across thoughtfully crafted objects, the collection feels joyful yet unmistakably refined.
The collection’s primary motif draws from the archive of late French artist and illustrator Christian Bérard. His botanical sensibility appears through cascading bouquets of multicoloured flowers rendered almost painterly against crisp ecru and white cotton. Named Dior Arabesque, the print feels instinctive rather than overly decorative, balancing opulence with effortless ease beautifully.
Select Dior Arabesque pieces include the fan that retails at SGD310. Crafted in pearwood, it unfurls to reveal the floral motif. Elsewhere, charming home objects like the placemat at SGD550 and square pillow at SGD1950 continue the narrative elegantly. The pillow additionally features the Dior Médaillon signature, recalling the rococo refinement of the maison’s original salons.

If you prefer something quieter, consider Dior Bows. Jonathan Anderson reinterprets Bérard’s work by incorporating his signature bows with a playful touch. Consequently, the motif with a delicate scattering of bows feels simultaneously archival and contemporary, existing comfortably between the maison’s heritage and its evolving creative direction. The print adorns items such as the notebook, retailing at SGD130.
Through this season’s Dioriviera, Dior Maison brings the Riviera indoors through colour, pattern and craftsmanship. At the same time, the Dior Arabesque and Dior Bows motifs reinforce how even the smallest objects can evoke summertime joy.
