It also serves as the dinnerware for the Monsieur Dior Restaurant at 30 Montaigne. In her tableware collection Cannage Montaigne, de Castellane revisits the house code of caning, which also appears today on the Lady Dior bag — cemented as a Dior icon when Christian Dior accommodated guests on gilt Napoleon III-style chairs with woven cane seats at his first-ever show in 1947. In a sophisticated reinterpretation of the cannage motif, the tableware collection utilizes caning in burnished gold, beige, and white with subtle platinum-tone borders on extra-fine Limoges porcelain plates and glass stemware. De Castellane continues to draw her inspiration from the house archives, with Christian Dior as her protagonist, injecting the same dose of humor and modern innovation into her creations for Dior.
