Pietro Ruffo designs limited-edition Dior holiday coffrets with astral motifs
Pietro Ruffo, an Italian artist born in Rome in 1978, has designed exclusive coffrets for Dior's #DreamInDior initiative, collaborating with creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri since 2017. His artistic style, influenced by his architectural training, merges figurative elements with landscapes and celestial themes. For the #DreamInDior collection, Ruffo embellished the J'adore perfume coffret with lively stars and flowers, while the Miss Dior case showcases eight constellations that pay tribute to Christian Dior's lucky number. The Sauvage fragrance is presented with floral designs and constellations. A highlight of the collection is an advent calendar illustrating a vibrant astral universe, inspired by the enchanting Dior gardens and the constellations surrounding the North Star. Previous collaborators with Dior include Marinella Senatore and Marco Lodola.
