The Story
A LIGHTING EXPERIENCE FROM PAST TO FUTURE
Combining the cultural heritage, craftsmanship and finest crystal of Lalique with the contemporary spirit and design language of Windfall, the lighting collection Serene features iconic Lalique designs from the Orient Express and the traditional Dahlia motive, translated and arranged into today’s settings.
In 1931 René Lalique designed the Dahlia pattern to adorn the boxes which were part of the beauty rituals of every woman from the “Belle Époque“ period. Nowadays, these decorative panels are still fashioned by Lalique in satin finish crystal. The interpretation of this pattern in a crystal prism designed by Windfall creates a new contemporary element for the new lighting collection Serene.
The Femme Bras Levés and Joueur de Pipeau patterns were designed by René Lalique in 1928 for the decorative panels which adorned the interiors of the luxury and famous train, the Orient Express. During the inter-war period, the train appeared as the right solution to overcome the air and sea blockades. The Orient Express train was one of the first luxury train made entirely of metal during this inter-war period. It was an astonishing demonstration of the cutting-edge technologies and the finest know-how implemented at that time. Nowadays, these decorative panels are still fashioned by Lalique in satin finish crystal.
