When looking at the building’s design one might wonder where it came from. And Christian de Portzamparc answered that question: “I wanted the building to represent Dior and to reflect Christian Dior’s work. So I wanted the surfaces to flow, like the couturier’s soft, woven white cotton fabric. These surfaces, which soar into the sky and undulate as if in motion, crossed by a few lines, are made from long molded fiberglass shells, fitted together with aircraft precision.”
Taking into account Seoul’s architecture, full of rigid shapes and materials, where the quadrangular buildings align with the avenue, the Dior building stands out like a large sculptural tribute to the fashion house it represents, inviting everyone to step inside.
The entrance is a sort of modern lancet arch, in which two metal mesh surfaces cross in line with the clothing metaphor. Once inside, the customer makes a succession of discoveries – a feature typical of the interiors designed by Peter Marino, which you’ll be able to see below.
