Founded in 1885, Shanghai Lalique Trading Co., Ltd., a French Lalique LTD, marks an international brand of top artistic crystallization, and an enterprise integrating R&D, design, production, processing and sales of crystals, perfumes, glassware, etc
Lalique is a high-profile international top crystal brand, a high-end luxury brand that leads the global lifestyle, and is synonymous with cutting-edge technology, excellent quality and extraordinary creativity.
The legend of LALIQUE began in 1885 when the talented jewelry designer René Lalique (1860-1945) published the "Art Nouveau" collection, which revolutionized the jewellery industry and is still coveted by museums and collectors today.
René Lalique, known as the grandmaster of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements, celebrates an eclectic style in his glazed work. In fact, René Lalique has contributed to the revolution in the technology and commercial application of glaze. To this day, it is still heavily influenced by the design of crystal or glass perfume bottles, as well as by the bottle and its packaging.
In the history of LALIQUE, the company has gone through three generations of family members: René Lalique, Marc Lalique and Marie-Claude Lalique, and the group has also gone through three different stages of planning and development.
One of the most famous of them all, René Lalique, is the founder of LALIQUE, who pioneered modern jewelry design, not only as a renowned Art Nouveau jewelry designer, but also as a talented artist in Art Deco crystal glassmaking. LAILIQUE'S EARLIEST PRODUCTS REVOLVED AROUND JEWELLERY AND ACCESSORIES, WITH BUTTERFLIES AND OTHER SHAPES AS THE MOTIF. In fact, it is not difficult to find that its crystal products still retain natural flora and fauna, women's bodies and other natural sensual designs. René Lalique's design of the luxury sleeping car Orient Express, the famous ocean-going tanker Normandy, and the carved glass doors and crystal chandeliers of the Japanese prince's residence all break with tradition and are boldly decorated with glass. The Lady Luck decoration on the front of the car can be called a classic.
Marc Lalique and Marie-Claude Lalique have become the second and third generations of the brand, and I personally feel that Marc Lalique has played a more conservative role, but it has played an important role in the development of the brand. Marie-Claude Lalique's development phase expands the brand's product plan to more channels. LALIQUE has successively tried crystal ornaments, perfume bottles, tableware, glass products, ceramic products, furniture accessories and other fields. In particular, Marie-Claude Lalique has launched the group's perfume collections, and thanks to the limited edition of the fragrances it produces, LALIQUE perfumes will always be a fashion brand for celebrities to collect.
The reason why LALIQUE crystal can have such a high artistic status is that in addition to its high level of artistry, the excellent production process cannot be ignored. With a history of more than 70 years, the LALIQUE crystal manufacturing plant adheres to traditional manual techniques, rejecting any product defects, and produces a finished product that is destroyed immediately if a small defect is found. As a result, only 20% of the products are usually released to the market after each batch of goods is produced.
