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Modern Lalique has drawn on inspiration from the past and brought back the perfume bottles which originally made Rene Lalique the household name that he is today.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.
