René Jules Lalique was a glass designer, renowned for his stunning creations of perfume bottles, vases, jewelery, chandeliers, clocks. At age 16, he apprenticed with the Parisian jeweller, Louis Aucoc. He also worked for the houses of Aucoc, Cartier, Boucheron and others. In 1882 he became a freelance designer for several top jewellery houses in Paris and four years later established his own jewelry workshop. By 1890, Lalique was recognized as one of France's foremost Art Nouveau jewelery designers; creating innovative pieces. In the 1920s he also became famous for his work in the Art Deco style.

The firm he founded "Lalique" is still active and their designs are considered to be at the peak of creativity and quality today. Taking inspiration from Philippe Stark's black ghost chair and the famous black crystal chandelier from Baccarat the house of Lalique has introduced a limited edition line of black crystal pieces that work beautifully in modern interiors.
