Art of Ping Pong was honoured to be invited to collaborate with Dior on two consecutive Summer collections, creating bespoke ping pong bat and ball sets for Summer 2023 and Summer 2024.
While the finished sets themselves remain confidential, both collaborations centred on Christian Dior’s beloved and timeless signature: Toile de Jouy — a motif that the house continually reinvents, season after season.
Toile de Jouy is more than a print. It is part of Dior’s cultural DNA — rooted in storytelling, craftsmanship and repetition with variation.
Across both summers, we worked closely with Dior’s team to reinterpret the Toile de Jouy illustrations for use on functional, playable objects, ensuring they felt entirely at home within the wider collections.
Dior’s toile de Jouy is a signature reimagining of an 18th-century French pastoral fabric, famously adopted by Christian Dior in 1947 to decorate his first boutique. The print, characterised by detailed, monochromatic scenes, was modernised by Maria Grazia Chiuri for the fashion house, transforming it from a traditional interior textile into a staple for handbags, clothing, and home accessories.
