INIMITABLE ART
THREE NEW COLLECTIONS FROM DAUM THAT REFLECT BEAUTY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP
1 GARDEN OF EDEN MIRRORS Contemporary animal painter Alain Thomas offers his visions of paradise lost in two stunning mirror designs. Working with fine crystals, bright colours and skilled artisans from Daum, the French artist depicts a rare Amazon wildlife scene in all its beauty and serenity. One compelling reason to add this to your crystal collection: These fine crystal mirrors combine the artist’s greatest life passions–-his famous “naïve-primitive” paintings, his love for wildlife and nature conservation, and his special interest in toucans.
2 FOUR SEASON VASES These four crystal vases (Pink Spring, Green Summer, Amber Autumn and Blue Winter) capture the transient beauty of the seasons and the living art of Ikebana. Beyond mere flower arrangement, Ikebana means “living flowers,” and Japanese master Shogo Kariyazaki acutely captures this sense of vitality. Kariyazaki has been profiled repeatedly on television and magazines, and has even signed off at a royal wedding in Japan. Under his artistic direction, 99 pieces of each of these four rare vases have been made. In addition, eight pieces of a limited edition blue-and-gold winter vase are also available for the serious collector.
3 EUGENIE, AMELIE AND SOPHIE SCULPTURES These three precious sculptures are born out of a rare collaboration with celebrated painter and sculptor Jean-Philippe Richard. With a passion for the eternal feminine, the French artist is known for creating some of the most tender, sensuous and fascinating female forms. This Les Belles De Nuit series, for instance, is made up of three elongated and slender female figurines, which embody an aspect of feminine beauty that is modest and delicate. Created into the finest crystals by Daum, they are the epitome of elegance. Only 375 pieces of each sculpture are available worldwide.
