Ren\u00e9 Lalique (1860-1945), a major figure of Art Nouveau then Art Deco, was above all a visionary artist whose works combined technical perfection and unbridled creativity. Both a master glassmaker and jeweller, he found his inspiration throughout his life in nature. Staying true to this DNA, the new Botanica collection<\/a> plunges back into a universe where floral romanticism contrasts with mineral strength. Thanks to the talent of its artists and the exceptional expertise of its glass masters, Lalique captures the ornamental and symbolic power of peony, lily of the valley, orchid or cherry blossoms..<\/p>\n The precision of the design, the purity of the material, its play of reflections and transparency, allow the light to be sculpted. Marc Larminaux, Lalique\u2019s Artistic Director, gives us the #SoBARNES<\/a> insight into how to make the ephemeral eternal:<\/p>\n
