Daum

Daum crystal pieces are always unique, and you’ll never mistake them for any other brand. They are filled with warmth and energy, sharing it with every corner of your space. 

The figurines, crystal vases, and bowls from Daum glass are just as precious and eye-catching to lovers of beauty as the creations from Tiffany or Lalique.

History of Daum Crystal

The story of this famous French manufactory started by chance over 150 years ago. Jean Daum took over a small glass workshop in the French town of Nancy to cover a debt, and it was his sons who worked to give it a fresh start and new inspiration. Even today, incredible ideas for new Daum crystal pieces are born in that very place, and they are brought to life by the hands of skilled artisans. 

The production processes combine modern machinery with age-old traditions of decorators and glassblowers. Throughout its history, the Daum house has carried out incredibly successful experiments with glass and crystal, while paying just as much attention to design.

To create Daum glass France collections, the company invites the best French glass masters and renowned artists. All the work is done by hand.

The Uniqueness of Daum Glass

The distinctive feature of Daum France crystal is its animal and plant themes, along with a unique color palette that includes up to 70 different shades. 

Their special glassblowing techniques make it possible to create incredibly lifelike, breathing handmade pieces.

The Secret to Daum Crystal’s Success

The breakthrough for Art Nouveau glassware from this house came with the idea to use an ancient Egyptian technique called pâte de verre (glass paste). This unique and complex technique makes it possible to create a flexible paste from heated, tiny crystal pieces, which is then used to craft one-of-a-kind creations. 

The crystal's structure becomes incredibly strong, almost glowing from within and shimmering with a variety of shades. 

Each Daum collection is dedicated to a specific plant or animal, which are crafted to look quite realistic.

Collaborations with Geniuses

Just like any company involved in creating French art glass and luxury home decor, Daum has embraced creative collaborations with geniuses from different eras. 

Over time, legends like Starck, McConnico, César, Majorelle, Picasso, Dali, and many other famous artists and designers have contributed their talents to Daum France glass.

Daum Glass Production Secrets

The factory's leaders have always encouraged experimenting with new techniques, and they still do. 

Daum was one of the first manufacturers to use layered glass in their creations, which was later decorated with intricate engravings. The artisans are always experimenting with different chemicals to achieve stunning new results in decoration. 

That's why buying Daum crystal France for your home or as a gift is a true sign of impeccable taste.
