A stately old house with distinguished charm in every detail becomes more than just a modern, high-tech club house with de luxe apartments and a shopping gallery; it proudly bears the name of Lalique.
Thanks to the diversity of the French brand’s creations — furniture, plumbing, lighting, decor items, art objects, perfumery, jewelry, wine — the house will fully embody the Lalique lifestyle, fragrance and flavor, refined and sophisticated to the last detail.
Lalique crystal products will be used to decorate entrances, elevators, stairways, galleries of residential floors, and bathrooms in the apartments. Many components have been crafted specifically for this house. The interiors will be designed in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco style.
