IN FOCUS: Things that spark joy

A tribute to the essence of Earth in crystal 'Terramineral'

Launched at a gallery deep in the Marais during Paris Design Week in January, the new Spring Summer 2025 collections at Lalique have now hit the London stores.

A bold and different look for the season. A tribute to the very essence of Earth, where the rugged gentleness of rocks whispers ancient secrets, the new collection takes us on a journey exploring the remarkable landscapes of the surface, down to the depths carved by centuries. Beautifully captured below in the June issue of Elle Decoration by Amy Heffernan - in an Art Deco inspired spread.

The Earth, this silent immensity, tells a story of creative destruction. Beneath the apparent stillness, is revealed its fragile beauty, sculpted by the flowing water from which life is reborn, shaped by the breath of the elements. Contradictions intertwine: robustness is carved with delicacy. Each grain of sand, each rock is a hymn to vulnerable strength, an ode to the power that bends, a testament to an Earth that is both the master and the apprentice of time.

Each Lalique piece is hand made in Alsace by Lalique craftsmen and women. Standout pieces in the collection include the Caldera vase, with its circular shape, this vast crater becomes a reservoir of beauty and a guardian of age-old secrets. The Caldera pieces take on these contours, featuring a delicate cracked pattern evoking the perpetual renewal of the earth. Between shadow and light, the contrast of the design is sublimated by repolished satin crystal, Lalique’s signature, which brings a unique realism and aesthetic. Available in a range of sizes including the Magnitude vase limited to just 45 pieces worldwide (gold leaf fills its imperfections) in clear, persepolis blue and rich amber colour. Collectors pieces of the future.
