Its cubic body, crafted from thick acrylic, plays with transparency and depths of color, ranging from warm brown to amber reflections that ignite in the light. A brass band at the top completes the piece with a restrained yet assertive elegance, a hallmark of the discreet luxury of that era.

The Christian Dior Home collection from the 1970s is now one of the most sought-after vintage home decor lines among international collectors. These rare pieces have graced the shelves of leading design galleries worldwide, particularly in Japan, where they are especially prized.
