Last December, the House inaugurated the Dior Gold House in Bangkok. An exceptional place composed of gold and of art that feels suspended in time.
In a metropolis spiked with ultramodern skyscrapers*, Dior Gold House shines like a unique jewel. Nestled in a lush setting, this remarkable address invites visitors on a fabulous journey through the House’s history, from past to present. A spectacular vessel for this captivating odyssey, the building stands out first for its monumental architecture, which reproduces exactly the facade of the mansion at 30 Avenue Montaigne, the birthplace of Dior haute couture. Covered entirely in golden mosaic – an eternal symbol – Dior Gold House weaves virtuoso new connections between the House’s heritage and ancestral Thai craftsmanship. |

Even more than a destination, Dior Gold House stands out as a true epicentre of creation – a reflection of Christian Dior’s fascination with art, where one may discover a multitude of works by Thai artists. The garden – a marvellous, luxuriant paradise of countless botanical references – greets visitors with installations by Boonserm Premthada and Saran Yen Panya of 56th Studio, who here reinterpret the beloved tuk-tuk in a version that celebrates the prodigious diversity of exceptional craftsmanship. |
The dreamlike escape continues at the Café Dior by Mauro Colagreco, for which the artist Korakot Aromdee conceived an extraordinary scenography populated by magical flora and fauna. In this poetic world, trees, plants and birds seem to come to almost three-dimensional life. Customers and gourmets are invited to taste dishes by Mauro Colagreco, who developed a bespoke menu for Dior Gold House in order to express Dior’s heritage. Embodying the philosophy and vision of the Michelin three-star chef and his love of gardens, a gourmet partition draws inspiration from nature, its rhythms and cycles, to create a sumptuous blend of haute cuisine and haute couture. The menu presents a selection of desserts, sweet bouquet ice-cream cones and pastries decorated with House emblems. |
