Christian Lacroix Maison’s long-standing partnership with Portuguese porcelain manufacturer Vista Alegre takes a dazzling new turn with the launch of Rêve de Cristal. For nearly 15 years, the two houses have crafted exquisite porcelain collections. Now, Creative Director Sacha Walckhoff fulfills a long-held dream by introducing a crystal line that seamlessly enhances their tableware designs.
This elegant collection, rooted in the finest traditions of Bohemian glassmaking, is mouth-blown and hand-cut to perfection. It pairs beautifully with Christian Lacroix Maison’s Herbariae collection, elevating the art of entertaining with refined craftsmanship.
Rêve de Cristal consists of a tumbler, two stemmed glasses, a chalice, and a versatile vase that doubles as a candle holder. Each piece in the collection is a testament to Christian Lacroix Maison’s signature flair for color and intricate detail.
The Vie Parisienne tumblers
The ‘Vie Parisienne’ tumbler, lined with colored glass, comes in lapis lazuli, emerald, agate, or tourmaline shades. The ‘Feria’ red wine glass, crafted from incised white crystal, boasts a striking sapphire-colored stem that cleverly transforms into a liqueur glass when flipped upside down. The ‘Suerte’ white wine glass mirrors this ingenuity, featuring an aquamarine-hued stem.
The Soir de Fete chalice
For champagne lovers, the ‘Soir de Fête’ chalice offers a stunning visual treat with a blown glass foot and a lapis-lazuli-colored cut crystal bowl. The collection is completed with the ‘Vuelta’ vase, available in tourmaline or lapis lazuli, marking the beginning of a new era in Christian Lacroix Maison’s artistic evolution.
Sacha Walckhoff, the creative force behind the time-honored Christian Lacroix brand, has a heritage as diverse and rich as his inspirations, drawing on Slavic, French, Swiss, and African influences in his designs.
The Vuelta vase
Since joining Christian Lacroix in 1992, he has been instrumental in defining the creative direction of the house, and in 2010, he became Artistic Director. Under his leadership, the brand has expanded from fashion into interior design and art de vivre, establishing it as a house of timeless elegance and innovation.
