It's fascinating how Christian Dior expanded into the realm of home furnishings with the Art De La Table Collection in 1988, which included crystal perfume bottles reminiscent of the Art Deco style of the 1920s and 1930s. These bottles, crafted from 24% lead crystal by the talented glass company Sasaki in Japan, were designed to evoke the elegance and sophistication of that bygone era.
The decision to offer these bottles empty, allowing customers to fill them with their preferred perfume, adds a personal touch to the collection and makes them unique non-commercial items. The inclusion of frosted glass stoppers further enhances their aesthetic appeal, resembling the exquisite designs often associated with Lalique or Czechoslovakian glass.
The interchangeability of some bottles and stoppers adds an interesting dimension to the collection, allowing for customization and creative expression. It also reflects the versatility and craftsmanship of Sasaki in producing these elegant pieces that pay homage to the Art Deco era while incorporating modern elements. Overall, the Christian Dior Art De La Table Collection stands as a testament to the brand's commitment to luxury and style, offering customers the opportunity to bring a touch of timeless elegance into their homes.
