The latest designs extend the ongoing collaboration through lighting pieces that reinterpret couture codes and artisanal craftsmanship
Dior Maison presented a new series of Corolle lamps designed by Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance during Salone del Mobile 2026 in Milan, marking the continuation of a collaboration first initiated in 2019. The launch introduced new lighting designs that translate elements of Dior’s couture heritage into objects for the home.
The collection drew on the silhouette of Christian Dior’s New Look, with the lamps’ curved forms referencing the structure of the Corolle skirt. Produced using mouth-blown glass in the Murano tradition, the designs emphasized material craftsmanship and variation, with each piece shaped through controlled manual processes that result in subtle differences in texture and form. The glass structures were developed to evoke the movement of fabric, incorporating pleated and draped effects that interact with light through transparency and reflection.
“Light projections are as important as the work on the material that gives rise to them; they develop into a formal language of their own and their immateriality becomes something tangible. Through these reflections, light itself turns into matter.” said Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance.
In addition to glass models, the presentation included lighting pieces made using traditional basketry techniques. These designs utilized madake bamboo, crafted by artisans in Japan through a process of cutting, refining, and weaving fibers into structured forms that reference Dior’s cannage motif. The integration of these techniques expanded the material scope of the collection while maintaining continuity with the House’s visual codes.
The lamps were offered in multiple formats, including table and portable versions, and incorporated Dior’s signature color palette of grey, pink, and white. Details such as engraved “CD” elements and hardware components reinforced the connection to the brand’s identity across product categories.
The project positioned the collaboration within Dior Maison’s broader focus on design objects that bridge couture references and functional interiors, aligning artisanal processes with contemporary applications in the home.
