On the occasion of the Salone del Mobile 2026, in Milan – a pre-eminent event in the international design world – Dior Maison and Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance continue their fruitful collaboration, initiated in 2019

“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.” Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance.

For this trade fair, the French designer has created new Corolle lamps. A multiple award-winning designer, Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance creates artworks that draw their strength from the sensitive links forged by humans with their natural and cultural environment.

For Dior Maison, he has designed lighting fixtures that fuse ingenuity, excellence and audacity, values that are dear to the House. At the convergence of couture and art de vivre, these singular pieces echo the emblematic spirit of Christian Dior’s New Look.

Their curves reinterpret the signature lines of the Corolle skirt with freshness and elegance. A veritable tribute to haute couture silhouettes, the lamps exalt both their simplicity and virtuosity. Crafted from mouth-blown glass in the Murano tradition of Venice, they unveil exceptional savoir-faire.

Within each creation, the glass bell is distinguished by its exquisite craftsmanship, where inventiveness meets artisanal mastery. Inspired by the movement of fabric – from pleats to drapes – the structure of the lamps takes on a supple and airy appearance. The light sublimates the nuances, revealing a subtle interplay of transparencies, reflections, and materials.

Available in several sizes – table lamps or portable versions – each model is decorated with one of the founding couturier’s three emblematic colours : grey, pink and white. Refined details, from the handle to the buttons engraved with the “CD” initials, are crafted with great meticulousness.

In homage to Christian Dior’s passion for the beauty of nature, Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance has also designed other light fixtures celebrating the craft of basketry, the ancestral art of weaving plant fibres. The madake bamboo fiber is first cut, then refined into regular strips before being woven with precision to form a bell shape with motifs evoking cannage, a timeless Dior code. This unique artisanship is carried out entirely in Japan.

“All aspects of savoir-faire are unique because they are linked to gestures. From one craftsman to another, from one atelier to another, the gesture differs,” says Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance.

Patiently crafted for Dior, in a timeframe similar to that of the Ateliers at 30 Montaigne, these creations rise to the rank of works of art and express the very essence of the House, reinvented in the light of the present.
