An elegantly handcrafted crystal collection for everyday use
Intent on making finely-cut crystal objects that are suitable for an everyday landscape, Saint-louis and French designer Pierre Charpin collaborated to create ‘Cadence’, a 29-piece collection that spans everything from carafes to candlesticks. The pieces, elegantly adorned with vertical and horizontal lines, are heavy enough to not feel intimidatingly delicate, but light enough to be used for long stretches of time. ‘I think we want to have objects around us that make sense, that fit in with our everyday lives,’ says Saint-louis’ artistic director Anne Lhomme. ‘Even if these objects have a pretty aesthetic and are made of crystal, they are objects you will use regularly.’ saint-louis.com
