Maison d‘Artiste New York

Beyond intimate objects, Maison d’Artiste demonstrates Lalique’s mastery of scale. Entire walls and ceilings be come luminous artworks, reasserting crystal as an archi tectural medium. The Lauriers wall, composed of 36 illu minated panels, shimmers as though stirred by light itself. On the ceiling, 62 crystal swallows soar in mid-flight, fro zen yet alive. And crowning the dome, 177 glowing anem ones radiate with celestial brilliance, recalling René Lali que’s love of nature translated into modern light. Each work is handcrafted in Wingen-sur-Moder in Alsace, France, where Lalique has preserved its glassmaking tra dition for over a century. Shaped and polished by hand, these pieces carry the breath of French craftsmanship across the Atlantic, inhabiting the townhouse with ele gance and permanence. These monumental installations remind us that Lalique is not only about treasures held in the hand, but also about environments that shape the way we live. The relationship between Lalique and New York stretches back a century. In the 1920s, René Lalique’s glass adorned the Coty Building on 23rd Street, a landmark that still “Maison d’Artiste transcends retail. It is hospitality, culture and artistry – all under one roof.” Silvio Denz , Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, Lalique Group

bears his mark. For decades, Lalique’s creations whis pered through the city’s architecture, restaurants and pri vate collections. Maison d’Artiste now renews this bond, writing a new chapter in the dialogue between Paris and Manhattan. In spring 2025, the opening of the townhouse was cele brated in true New York style. More than 250 guests – col lectors, designers, cultural figures, and celebrities – filled the rooms. Among them was Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, symbolising the city’s vibrant energy. Between wines of Bordeaux and glimpses of crystal light, guests discovered that Lalique’s world belongs as much to New York as it does to France.
