DIOR Metamorphosis

The transformation of Maison Dior’s legendary Paris headquarters at 30 Avenue Montaigne seen through the eyes of Robert Polidori.

Following the reopening in 2022 of the Maison’s HQ, this exquisite volume offers a unique look at the metamorphosis of Maison Dior’s legendary Paris headquarters through images captured by acclaimed photographer Robert Polidori.

Over two years, the iconic Hôtel Particulier underwent a radical transformation, during which Polidori was granted exclusive access to the site for the entire duration of the restoration, documenting the original state, the demolition phase and the reconstruction of the house of Dior. By recording the past, present and future of spaces within a single frame, Polidori’s images capture layers of history in extraordinary detail. This impressive iconography offers a stunning viewing experience recorded in one of Bookmaker’s finest pieces, with neon print, hand-tipped images on crystal clear paper and a beautiful hemmed fabric cover for an oversized book with a slipcase.
