Pierre Yovanovitch’s desk accessories collection marks a radical departure for Dior Maison, a brand renowned for its fine porcelain, toile de Jouy patterns and cannage-patterned crystalware. ‘Midi’, as the new 15-piece collection is called, is characterised by sculptural lines and a pared-back material palette. Despite the typically exquisite craftsmanship, there is a refreshing groundedness to the pieces, which the brand describes as ‘an invitation to indulge in the sweetness of life’.
This is Yovanovitch’s second collaboration with Dior, following on from the ‘Monsieur and Madame Dior’ chairs, which were a standout attraction of the brand’s ‘Chaise Medallion’ group show at Milan Design Week 2021. Yovanovitch benefits from long-standing partnerships with leading French and Swiss craftspeople and launched his namesake furniture label in 2021 to critical acclaim (see W*266). So ‘Midi’ comes not out of a desire for a platform or prestige, but rather from Yovanovitch’s affinity for Monsieur Christian Dior.
