The Dior pattern inspired by Napoleon III chairs is Cannage.
Cannage is a woven-looking lattice motif associated with the chairs used in Christian Dior’s Paris couture salons. The pattern recalled cane or wicker furniture and became part of the house’s decorative vocabulary. Dior later applied it to handbags, shoes, jewelry, packaging, and other accessories.
The motif is especially recognizable on Dior’s Lady Dior bags, where it appears as a quilted geometric surface. Its use helps connect modern products to the interiors and presentation of the historic couture house.
Cannage is sometimes confused with Toile de Jouy, another important Dior decorative motif. Toile de Jouy is a printed fabric pattern featuring pastoral or figurative scenes, whereas Cannage is a structured lattice design derived from furniture and upholstery references.
