BACCARAT X STARCK Poetical and mysterious abstraction
BACCARAT X STARCK Poetical and mysterious abstraction
Date: Milan Design Week June 7 – 12, 2022
Baccarat and Philippe Starck celebrate 20 years of collaboration with a surrealist and poetical installation at Milan Design Week 2022.
" In the block of poetry that is Baccarat, the Talleyrand collection reconciliates the force of the mass and the finesse of intelligence, the power of the Middle Ages and the refinement of the Enlightenment. ” Philippe Starck
" Harcourt embodies the splendid majesty coming from the dawn of time. Talleyrand embodies the grace of intelligence, key to any future. ” Philippe Starck
For 20 years, Philippe Starck has extended to Baccarat his visionary look, twisting the icons of the brand to offer them a new destiny. Crazy about Harcourt, which he revisits with humor and poetry over time, the designer now pays tribute to Talleyrand, another remarkable Baccarat collection. Like the famous diplomat whose genius fascinated so many, the Talleyrand service symbolizes a certain form of modern intelligence. On the edge of a glass with powerful lines, a delicately sculpted rim hugs the contour of the lips and gives lightness to the gesture. Philippe Starck was inspired by this essential detail to imagine a collection of pieces combining heritage and modernity, elegance and ergonomics, strength and poetry. An artifact of ancestral know-how passed down from generation to generation for nearly 260 years, each object celebrates the virtuosity of Baccarat craftsmen. " Comme de l'or noir ", " S'il vous plait ", " Encore ", as a storyteller, Starck designs a new imagination to highlight the very essence of Baccarat: to amaze and provide at each moment a unique emotion.
