Takara Belmont

In an era defined by hyper-wellness and futuristic beauty rituals, some icons have quietly set the standard for decades. Enter Takara Belmont-the third-generation Japanese design house that’s been shaping the ritual of grooming since [1921].

Based in Osaka, each barber chair is a feat of handcraft, taking [4 hours], [16 experts], and reaching salons in over [120 countries]. Their philosophy? The first seat is the first impression.

For Dior’s Fort Sauvage immersive pop-up this September, we collaborated with Takara Belmont’s specialists to design four bespoke chairs, tailored to the installation’s rugged elegance. Guests were invited to take a seat—for a beard trim and a moment of pause—bridging old-world craft with contemporary cool.
