Air de Lalique

A Heritage Bestiary What could better evoke freedom than a bird in flight? The Piou-Pious , a trio of crystal birds, bring a touch of whimsical tenderness to Air de Lalique. “They are the masters of air, taming it to defy gravity,” ex plains Marc Larminaux. “One preens its feathers, another pecks at the present moment, while the third, head raised to the sky, seems to listen to the song of the wind.” Entirely sandblasted then repolished, these miniature sculptures recall Lalique’s early days as an animalier art ist. A keen observer of nature, René Lalique adorned his Art Nouveau jewels with dragonflies and swallows, a her itage that continues to take wing. The collection also features a coral-hued crystal candle, its wax holding a bouquet of white flowers with aldehydic, ozonic and wild herb notes. As though, after sculpting air, Lalique had also given it a scent. An Invitation to Contemplation Available from March 2026, Air de Lalique invites si lence, pause and contemplation, to let the light perform its changing ballet throughout the day. This reverence for beauty and transformation has been at the heart of Lalique’s story since 1888: turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. Continuing its voyage through the four elements, Lalique looks ahead to the next challenge: capturing fire and flame in crystal. The Maison, ever luminous, burns with imagination.

“Each undulation is distinct, designed with precision to create a harmonious

whole.” Marc Larminaux , Artistic and Creative Director of Lalique
