Nature has always been an inexhaustible source of inspiration for Lalique. René Lalique loved nature above all and observed it with utmost care. His creativity has been nurtured by the three “F”’s: Femme, Flora and Fauna, which were omnipresent in his designs. The new BOTANICA collection takes us into a universe where floral romanticism contrasts with mineral strength. Thanks to the talent of its artists and the exceptional expertise of its
glass masters, Lalique captures the ornamental and symbolic power of peony, lily of the valley, orchid or cherry blossoms. The precision of the designs, the purity of the material and the play on reflections and transparency give birth to exquisite decorative objects. Through satin-finished crystal, sometimes highlighted with gold or enamel, Lalique, sculptor of light, immortalizes nature and invites us to admire its beauty.

In a numbered edition in clear or limited edition of 88 pieces (lucky number in Asia) for the amber and fuchsia versions, this vase captures the ornamental power of this iconic flower.

Designed for any type of drinks, the four tumblers to mix and match exhibit finesse and style. A prominent flower in Buddhist, Hindu and Egyptian cultures, the lotus is considered a sacred flower, holding great symbolic value. With a wondrous ability to dip into mud and revive unscathed, the lotus symbolizes spiritual enlightenment and rebirth. It is therefore often represented alongside divine figures, sitting on lotus thrones. Across human cultures, water has been used to communicate the sacred value of life; the spiritual dimension
