The body of the Hirondelles Swallows Sapphire Blue Crystal Cordless Lamp displays a motif inspired by René Lalique's original design of the Plume bottle.
Through his work, René Lalique explored the decorative possibilities of flora, fauna and the female form. Among fauna, the swallow particularly inspired him, which he then made the centrepiece of many jewels and decorative objects. With admiration and respect for this immense artist, Lalique reinterprets the figure of the swallow, recurring in the Master’s work, herald of spring, symbol of happiness and freedom
Reminiscent of René Lalique's famous tiara perfume bottles, the majestic tiara adorned with swallows is placed on the body of the lamp displaying a motif inspired by the Plumes bottle.
Lalique today is considered the jewel in the crown of the French glass and crystal industry since 1888 – a byword for excellence, a reputation earned through creating extraordinary pieces in crystal glass in its myriad variations. It is not for nothing that Lalique is also referred to as the ‘haute couture’ of crystal. Since 1922, every Lalique piece has been produced at their only factory, the Verrerie d'Alsace glassworks at Wingen-sur Moder, Alsace, in a French region with a strong historical glassmaking tradition.
