DIOR METAMORPHOSIS

The transformation of Dior's legendary Paris headquarters at 30 Avenue Montaigne seen through the eyes of Robert Polidori. Following the reopening of 30 Avenue Montaigne in 2022, 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. In the space of 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 its 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.
