Le Roi Soleil

This spherical, contemporary chandelier connects to modern architecture yet remains recognizable as a true Baccarat icon. Designed in 2016 to tribute to the illustrious monarch Louis XIV, this exceptional light creation is a dazzling symbol of modernity. Staying true to the original design language of Baccarat’s iconic ‘Zénith’ chandelier, this magnificent reinterpretation is an ode to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the manufactory artisans. With stretched and distorted branches, tassels and octagons, this dazzling reinterpretation of a Baccarat icon has inspired NY design critic, Dan Rubinstein, to emphatically state that “Tradition gets seriously warped at Baccarat.” Featuring softened angles and crystal shades with cut motifs that have been inclined to form the curves of the chandelier, ‘Le Roi Soleil’ delivers an imposing promise of a new era of light.

New Antique Collection

Created in 2016, the New Antique Table (2016) is the happy outcome of a playful inversion that occurred when the ‘New Antique Vase’ (2014) was incidentally positioned upside down. Mystical, invisible qualities give the crystal a unique ability to reflect light. A subtly concealed rechargeable LED lighting system presents a captivating aura and suspends the table mid-air and in our minds. The original vase is made with exquisite hand-blown crystal mounted on a stylish marble base. Created in a limited edition of 99 pieces, the ‘New Antique Vase’ is a re-interpretation of the celebrated Medicis vase. These audacious masterpieces exalt beauty and excess while endlessly reflecting light, available in deep cobalt blue, passion red, enigmatic black, and clear crystal.
