About Lalique

Lalique, a name synonymous with artistic excellence and luxury, traces its heritage back to the early 20th century. René Lalique, a visionary artist and master glassmaker, founded this renowned brand. Lalique is celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship and innovative designs, particularly in the realm of crystal art and glassware.

The brand's legacy encompasses a diverse range of products, from exquisite perfume bottles and jewelry to stunning crystal vases and decorative items. Lalique's signature style often includes intricate floral motifs, animal figurines, and delicate, frosted glasswork.

How Lalique Is Made

The creation of Lalique crystal is a testament to the intersection of traditional craftsmanship and modern artistry. Each Lalique piece begins with the finest raw materials, including crystal-clear glass, silica sand, and lead oxide, sourced to meet the brand's exacting standards.

Skilled artisans, often trained for years in the Lalique tradition, bring these materials to life. The process involves a combination of hand-blown glasswork and intricate molds, ensuring the formation of flawless crystal objects. Lalique's signature frosted finish is achieved through a meticulous acid-etching process that imparts a delicate, matte texture to the glass.

What truly distinguishes Lalique is the attention to detail in design. Artisans sculpt intricate patterns and motifs, often inspired by nature, directly onto the crystal, or they employ advanced techniques like lost-wax casting for creating more complex pieces.

The final step involves careful polishing to bring out the crystal's lustrous sheen. The result is a Lalique creation that embodies both artistry and technical precision, a symbol of the brand's enduring commitment to crafting exceptional crystal art.

What Makes Lalique Special?

Thanks to a team of passionately committed designers, Lalique creates beautiful pieces each year that are inspired by three themes dear to René Lalique: flora, fauna and the female form. Once at the factory, the manufacturing process begins. A single crystal piece can require up to 40 different steps to produce.

Century-old gestures and know-how, passed down from generation to generation.
From the crafting of the pots in which the crystal is molten, to the hot glass workshop where the material is gathered and moulded.
In the seclusion of the workshops, the men and women of Lalique create between 350,000 and 400,000 pieces each year. Their expertise is the soul of the enterprise.

Water, pure and alive, an essential element for working and sublimating crystal.
The cold glass workshop resonates with a symphony of diamond-tipped saws working the crystal with water. The crystal’s metamorphosis continues here. The importance given to cold glass is characteristic of Lalique. It is the result of the extreme attention to detail in the sculpture and finishing of each creation.

The pieces are selected not only according to technical criteria (absence of defects) but also according to aesthetic considerations, paying full respect to the creative team’s intentions. During the entire process, each item is subject to rigorous checks before it can be signed by hand, a guarantee of authenticity and quality.
