Lalique<\/strong><\/em> affirms a new living vision <\/strong>of crystal<\/strong>, in constant resonance <\/strong>with lights<\/strong>, time<\/strong>, and emotion<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After a 2025 <\/strong>year, marked by strong international momentum<\/strong><\/em>, it looks as if Lalique<\/strong><\/em> opens 2026<\/strong> with a creative vision<\/strong> shaped by movement <\/strong>and poetry<\/strong>. Each creation<\/strong> engages in a subtle dialogue <\/strong>between memory <\/strong>and innovation<\/strong>, where crystal<\/strong>, far from being static<\/strong>, becomes a vehicle <\/strong>for emotion <\/strong>and light<\/strong>. At the crossroads of art<\/strong>, design<\/strong>, fragrance<\/strong>, and jewelry<\/strong>, the Maison<\/strong><\/em> crafts true sensory experiences<\/strong>. Starting from Mouvement<\/strong><\/em>, an essential signature <\/strong>of Lalique<\/strong><\/em>, is notably expressed through the Tourbillons<\/em> vase<\/strong>, once to be designed by Suzanne Lalique<\/strong>, whose sculpted whorls<\/strong> and contrasts of satin-finished <\/strong>and polished crystal<\/strong> capture the light<\/strong> in a hypnotic <\/strong>rhythm. On the occasion of its centenary<\/strong>, new colored variations<\/strong> come to celebrate this heritage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In 2026<\/strong>, Lalique Art<\/strong><\/em> continues its dialogue <\/strong>with contemporary art<\/strong> by collaborating with Chinese <\/strong>artist Fang Lijun<\/strong>. His human figures<\/strong>, translated into crystal<\/strong> in highly limited series<\/strong>, question the human condition<\/strong> and assert a certain form of silent resistance<\/strong>. Then, the Air <\/strong><\/em>collection, through sculptures<\/strong>, inspired by Ren\u00e9 Magritte<\/strong>, along with new olfactory <\/strong>and jewelry creations<\/strong>, extend this quest <\/strong>for elevation <\/strong>and the invisible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

CFOC<\/em><\/strong>, where the sun <\/strong>rises..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For sixty years<\/strong>, CFOC<\/strong><\/em> has been embodying some real French lifestyle<\/strong>, enriched by influences from elsewhere<\/strong>. Founded in 1965<\/strong> by Fran\u00e7ois Dautresme<\/strong>, an explorer <\/strong>and aesthete<\/strong> passionate about Asian craftsmanship<\/strong>, the Compagnie Fran\u00e7aise de l\u2019Orient et de la Chine<\/strong><\/em> has, from its beginnings, woven a sensitive connection <\/strong>between Eastern <\/strong>and Western<\/strong>. Heir to a unique artisanal heritage<\/strong>, this French<\/strong> Maison<\/strong> still celebrates its 60th anniversary<\/strong> with a birthday collection<\/strong> that revisits <\/strong>its icons<\/strong> and asserts a decidedly contemporary creativity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Still under the artistic direction <\/strong>of Val\u00e9rie May\u00e9ko Le H\u00e9no<\/strong>, CFOC<\/strong><\/em> reinvents its fundamentals<\/strong> through a series of exclusive objects<\/strong> in limited editions<\/strong>. You could admire exceptional ceramics<\/strong>, crafted in Yixing<\/strong>, such as lacquered trays <\/strong>from Vietnam<\/strong>, porcelains <\/strong>from Japan<\/strong>, and recycled glass <\/strong>from India<\/strong>, where each piece<\/strong> tells the story of a mastered gesture<\/strong> and a sublimated material<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

..and so does your interior<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Therefore, don’t miss their new shades<\/strong>, featuring Jun blue<\/strong>, sepia<\/strong>, and honey<\/strong>, all engaging in dialogue<\/strong> with the iconic CFOC <\/strong><\/em>red color to create a vibrant <\/strong>and harmonious <\/strong>palette<\/em>. Among the key <\/strong>new pieces<\/strong>, you would face black Chinese <\/strong>ceramic jars<\/strong>, along two-tone coconut bowls<\/strong>, but also scalloped lacquered wooden trays<\/strong>, without forgetting Indian cotton <\/strong>velvet textiles<\/strong>, illustrating this alliance <\/strong>between tradition <\/strong>and modernity<\/strong>. Thereafter, woven wool rugs<\/strong>, porcelain <\/strong>and brass lamps<\/strong>, and stained oak tables<\/strong> complete a cohesive universe<\/strong>, where each creation<\/strong> becomes both an object <\/strong>of desire <\/strong>and of use<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Thus, CFOC<\/strong><\/em> presents here an anniversary collection<\/strong>, imbued with meaning <\/strong>and emotion<\/strong>, into a sensory <\/strong>journey, through materials <\/strong>and colors<\/strong>, where elegance <\/strong>becomes timeless<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Some elegant wall lights<\/strong> in alabaster<\/strong>, by Atelier Alain Ellouz<\/strong><\/em>..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For twenty years<\/strong>, the artist Alain Ellouz<\/strong> has been exploring light<\/strong> as a sensitive <\/strong>language, shaped by material <\/strong>and craftsmanship<\/strong>. The success story<\/strong> began in 1995<\/strong>, when Alain Ellouz<\/strong> discovered alabaster<\/strong>. This ancient stone<\/strong> became the starting point of a singular vision<\/strong>, by giving it new life<\/strong>, notably through contemporary design<\/strong>. As a self-taught entrepreneur <\/strong>and sculptor<\/strong>, he developed his own savoir-faire<\/strong><\/em>, where artisanal <\/strong>excellence meets some creative <\/strong>boldness. Over the years, the Atelier<\/strong><\/em> has forged a strong identity<\/strong> by integrating alabaster<\/strong> into large-scale international projects<\/strong>, captivating the worlds of luxury and architecture<\/strong>. In 2011<\/strong>, this exploration expanded to rock crystal<\/strong>, a raw <\/strong>and luminous <\/strong>material that enriched the Maison<\/strong>\u2019s aesthetic vocabulary<\/strong> and introduced new effects of transparency <\/strong>and light diffusion<\/strong>. The opening of showrooms <\/strong>in New York<\/strong>, after France<\/strong>, marked key milestones<\/strong> in this international growth<\/strong>, alongside the creation of the Alain Ellouz Foundation<\/strong><\/em>, dedicated to promoting alabaster <\/strong>on an artistic stage<\/strong>. In 2024<\/strong>, the transformation into Atelier Alain Ellouz<\/strong><\/em> confirmed its global recognition<\/strong>. Today, the Maison<\/strong> continues its international expansion<\/strong>, staying true to a vision<\/strong> in which material <\/strong>becomes emotion<\/strong> and light <\/strong>an enduring signature<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"In 2026<\/strong>, the Negropontes Gallery<\/strong> <\/em>celebrates the 150th anniversary<\/strong> of the birth of the legendary Romanian<\/strong> artist Constantin Brancusi<\/strong> with \u201cA Look at Brancusi\u201d<\/strong><\/em>, a three-part <\/strong>program, both presented in Paris<\/strong> and Venice<\/strong>. The initiative<\/strong> revisits the sculptor\u2019s legacy<\/strong> through a dialogue<\/strong> between contemporary creations<\/strong> and photographic archives<\/strong>, notably by Dan Er. Grigorescu<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The first chapter<\/strong>, devoted to art<\/strong> and design<\/strong>, connects current artworks<\/strong> with historical photographs<\/strong> to reveal formal correspondences<\/strong> and sensitive affinities<\/strong>. At the Romanian Embassy <\/strong>in Paris<\/strong>, an outdoor exhibition<\/strong> brings together the photographs<\/strong> of Mircea Cantor<\/strong> and again Grigorescu<\/strong>, dedicated to the monumental ensemble <\/strong>of T\u00e2rgu Jiu<\/strong>. Listed by UNESCO<\/strong><\/em>, this site<\/strong>, designed by Brancusi<\/strong> in 1938<\/strong>, links sculpture<\/strong> and landscape<\/strong> in a symbolic path<\/strong>, that has become emblematic <\/strong>of 20th-century <\/strong>modernity.<\/p>\n
