French luxury crystal glassmaker Baccarat is hoping to revolutionise the experience of drinking wine with a new design that promises to settle the age-old argument between alcohol and the grape.
The tulip-shaped glass, with a wide flat base and a vertical “chimney”, will prevent the alcohol from overpowering the aroma of wine when the glass is swirled.
Baccarat Hotel & Residences New York will open in 2014 in time for Baccarat‘s 250th year anniversary. It will be located at 20 West 53rd St., just off Fifth Avenue.
The project is a partnership between Starwood Capital and Tribeca Associates, a New York-based real estate development and acquisitions company.
In the style of a crystal menagerie, thought like an astonishing bestiary, Jaime Hayon signs in 2011 the Baccarat Zoo.
Halfway between a glamorous sweet box and a decorative object, the Spanish designer gives birth to a wildlife triptych, both playful and democratic.
The collection consists of a duck, monkey and a bear in the form of containers.
Guerlain teamed again with Baccarat to manufacture a massive flacon for the ultra-exclusive flacon of their new perfume called L’Abeille de Guerlain.
It is meant to look like a gigantic bee with its wings faceted like precious diamonds.
The bee has been a symbol of Guerlain since founder Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain came to fame crafting perfumes for Empress Eugénie of France, who reigned from 1853 to 1870; the bee was the emblem of France’s Second Empire.
French crystal makers Baccarat has released its latest design in collaboration with renowned Parisian lighting artist Yann Kersalé.
The Jallum lamp is made of French cut crystal, aluminum and can be recognized in the form of a glass baton with LEDs inside it.
There are four cylinders arranged on a charger cradle and can be placed individually or in groups to light up your space.
Guerlain has launched an exclusive edition of “Idylle”, its new fragrance.
The Artist Edition of Idylle was created by Ora Ito, who designed the solid 18-carat gold perfume bottle enveloped in a clear Baccarat crystal ball.
The golden bottle must be kept intact for the piece to serve as decoration, or the crystal must be broken in order to access the famous perfume.
