BURGUNDY GLASSES 100 POINTS LALIQUE :

BURGUNDY GLASSES 100 POINTS LALIQUE, “Beautiful yet functional” is how internationally acclaimed wine critic James Suckling describes the 100 POINTS collection.

With a name referring to the wine scoring system, 100 POINTS is a hand-made collection that embraces a modern design and precise utility while exemplifying the established style of Lalique: crystal fashioned by the best glass-masters, “U” shaped bowl and distinctive frosted rib stem to obtain the characteristic contrast of clear and satin-finish.

♦ THE SPIRIT OF LALIQUE :

“I look, i observe: the woman, th child, the flight of a bird, a tree, a fish; suddenly, the harmony of a form, a pose, a gesture, a movement, imprints itself on my mind and does not leave, it combines with other compositional elements that i have seen … the work is ripe, and i have only to pick it …” (René Lalique in an interview).

Lalique can look back with pride on a wonderful tradition. One hundred and thirty years of savoir-faire and creative excellence in the French “Art of living”, producing timeless creations: art objects, light fixtures, furniture, jewellery, fragrances and more – all “made in France”. The name of Lalique is associated with glass and crystal, a tradition passed down with passion by generations of its artists and outstanding French craftsmen.

Its undisputed master: René Lalique. Designer, jeweller of Art Nouveau, master glassmaker of Art Deco, decorator, industrial entrepreneur – René Lalique had the ingenious idea of making art a part of daily life, conceiving artistic creation as “total art”: sculpture and modeling to render contours; architecture to encompass his eye for line and planning; precious stones, mother-of-pearl, horn and enamel to refine the shimmering interplay of material and color. And finally, he was captivated by the effects of transparency and opalescence inherent in glass, which he harnessed to create a new, aesthetic form of light.
