Spot light on designers:
LALIQUE
Often called the sculptor of light, Rene
Lalique and the brand that bears his name still aheres to the qualities in
which he believed; creativity, emotion and above all excellence. Every piece of Lalique is sculpted with care
and dedication by master craftsmen who still blow glass in the traditional
manner.
Rene Lalique started working and exhibiting
under his own name in the early 1900s. The combined influences of the Art
Nouveau & Art Deco periods are still seen in the clean lines and feminine
angles of both the glassware and jewellery collections.
Though Lalique is traditionally known as a
glassware designer, the brand also produces a range of crystal jewellery. The
inspiration for Lalique’s glassware was
the natural world; earth, air, fire and water and these elements are still
reflected in the crystal jewellery.

Modern Lalique has drawn on inspiration
from the past and brought back the perfume bottles which originally made Rene
Lalique the household name that he is today.
A more recent introduction is the delightful range of Lalique fragrances
which can be tested at Gatwards.
