DIOR MEDALLION CHAIR
In 1947 Christian Dior selected a Louis XVI-style chair to seat guests at his atelier and the chair has become a signature of the house ever since . This year , Dior commissioned 17 artists and designers , including Pierre Yovanovitch , India Mahdavi , Studio Dimore , Nendo , and Nacho Carbonell to re-imagine the Louis XVI design . The resulting collection is a beautiful homage to not only the house of Dior , but of the architectural value of the simple chair .

HERMÈS
In a particularly cerebral display by Hervé Sauvag at La Pelota , Hermès filled huge volumes with hand-embroidered rugs , a paper mache-inspired chair by Studio Mumbai , and wooden furniture by Jasper Morrison , among other domestic delights .
