STYLE ET SAVOIR-FAIRE Depuis 1921, la Manufacture fondee par Rene Lalique perpetue un savoir-faire artisanal. C'est au travers de gestes precis que les artisans apportent leur empreinte melant poesie de l'exceptionnel et quete de l'excellence dans le respect des traditions. Les premieres phases du long parcours de production sont liees a la fabrication des moules. Vient ensuite le travail du cristal dans l'atelier du «verre chaud» ou apres avoir atteint 1400°C, le cristal en fusion est cueilli puis mis en forme selon differentes techniques. Une fois reroidie, la piece subit ensuite une suite d'operations manuelles representant les 2/3 du temps consacre a la fabrication de celle-ci. Ce travail tres minutieux de retouches, sculptures et finitions tend a atteindre la perfection et nous plonger dans un univers magique. STYLE & KNOW-HOW The Lalique factory built in 1921 by the company’s founder Rene Lalique, has kept the strongest glassmaking traditions. The first few stages of the long process of production are related to the manufacturing of the molds. Then the glassmakers brave extreme temperatures in the “hot glass" workshops in order to gather, clean, shape and reheat the crystal. The melting crystal can reach 1,400°C and is captured and manipulated using a variety of techniques. In the “cold glass" workshops, a piece will undergo a succession of manual operations. These represent 2/3 of the time spent on the manufacturing of each object. The importance given to cold glass is characteristic of Lalique. It is the result of the extreme attention given to details, finishing and to the sculpture of each creation.
