D. Garden

An open window onto spring

There must be roses, lily of the valley, daisies, and a four-leaf clover with a ladybug. We want it in clear glass with a few colorful details: butterflies, bees, and other insects that buzz in spring. It must be in bloom, rich enough to prevent the public from looking at themselves. A mirror that pierces the walls like a window opening onto Christian Dior’s gardens in Milly-la-Forêt, where he purchased an old mill, which became his private retreat where he devoted himself to gardening.

An antique mirror reflecting the exuberance of gardens in May. The lampwork flowers are applied glass on glass to create a natural, fairytale composition, where the changing light throughout the day alters the tones and atmosphere, making the leaves and petals vibrate. The impression is of looking out over an ever-changing landscape.

A unique work of art that opens a window not only onto Dior’s garden of imagination, but onto new horizons of creation, because the drive to bring the never-before-seen to life is also realized through unexpected projects that test technical possibilities and make them evolve through the resolution of numerous small problems that hide perfection in the details.

D. Garden can be found at the Hotel Cipriani, on the island of Giudecca in Venice, and accompanies guests into the world of the maison Dior.
