DESCRIPTION
Australia's only Lalique destination. Handcrafted Lalique clear crystal large teddy bear with a soft pink luster finish, mimicking an inflatable metallic balloon.
Through its delicately sculpted folds, the Teddy Air captures the fleeting moment when the Air takes shape, captured within the crystal, like a memory to be kept intact.
Available in two sizes, these teddy bears play with light and perception, hovering between illusion and reality. The colored versions, in soft pink or blue luster, are enhanced by a subtly iridescent finish, evoking the illusion of a metallic balloon.
The Inspiration
Lalique unveils Air de Lalique, Chapter 2, a new expression of air.
Softly rounded and inflated with tenderness, Teddy Air is Lalique's new breath of softness. Here, crystal plays pretend : it imitates childhood's inflatable balloons in a distinctly neo-pop style. Joyful companions of happy moments, these familiar figures evoke the sweetness of childhood, simple joy, the innocence of first wonders. They embody the Air element in its tenderest form : a breath, a caress, the emotion of a child's dream.
The Luster Technique
To obtain the perfect shade of blue, a luster mist, made from precious metals including yellow gold, is subtly sprayed on. After this delicate and precise application, the piece is annealed in an oven, where the magic happens: the gold particles in the mixture are activated by the heat, and the clear crystal takes on a vaporous blue hue.
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.
This piece is brand new, sourced directly from Lalique, and bears the Lalique signature at its base, guaranteeing authenticity. We are the only authorised boutique in Sydney, Australia, where you can visit and select your Lalique pieces in person.
