RENÉ LALIQUE, ARCHITECT AND DECORATOR EXHIBITION 1 May to 2 November 2025

“We did not invent glass, [...], this is true, but in the history of art and civilisation, the merit, if not for an entirely new idea, then at least for its broad development that had long been put off, its practical application once tentative and limited, must be unequivocally attributed to the glassmaker artists of today: we wish to speak of its application in a broad sense, glassmaking as used in construction, decoration, all forms of interior and exterior design. It is you, glassmakers of the start of this century, who deserve the honour of having felt and immortalised those admirable resources enjoyed by architects and decorators alike through the use of this material, shiny or subtle as we desire it, solid and lenient, suitable for an almost infinite range of utilitarian or ornamental uses: it is you who should bask in the glory of having spread wide its use, to the benefit of constructors and the great joy of anyone with taste.” Thus spoke René Lalique of his passion for modern glassmaking in the preface to the album-guide for the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts held in Paris in 1925.
