Bleu - Faisans

We’ve long been admirers of the work of French jeweller and master glassmaker René Lalique, whose striking creations helped define the Art Nouveau aesthetic at the turn of the 20th century. Inspired by his frosted and stained glass vases of the mid-1920s, Faisans explores the interplay between naturalistic precision and stylised ornamentation seen in much of the artist’s work. Meticulously rendered pheasants dance across the design, their long tail plumes cascading downwards, evoking a sense of movement and grace. Monochrome palettes and witty use of the ombré effect bring to mind Lalique’s fine glassware with its exquisite frosting and staining.
