DIOR — SKP CHENGDU
Monumental Pleated Silk InstallationFor the opening of Maison Dior’s SKP boutique in Chengdu, China, Atelier Sumbiosis conceived and created a monumental textile installation exploring the dialogue between traditional craftsmanship, botanical inspiration and contemporary architecture.
Inspired by Christian Dior’s lifelong passion for flowers and gardens, nine sculptural compositions were developed in naturally dyed and intricately pleated silk, drawing on the organic forms, textures and subtle nuances of the botanical world.
Suspended in a cascading arrangement along the boutique’s grand staircase, these works establish a poetic relationship between textile, movement and architectural space, celebrating the expressive potential of silk and the refinement of artisanal techniques.
This exceptional project was developed in close collaboration with Dior Architecture, whose continued trust and commitment to craftsmanship we deeply appreciate.
Special thanks to the remarkable team of artisans and collaborators whose expertise and dedication brought this ambitious installation to life.
