DiscoverLéo GLASSDREAM
Léo Glassdream's glass creations are created in two stages. When hot, the sculpting process enables him to create expressions, maintaining minimalist forms while seeking to push back the limits of the material. Then, when cold, and depending on the form obtained, a narrative is constructed, made up of signs and drawn forms inspired by Maori tattoo culture.
DiscoverEddie LEGUS
Eddie Légus was born in Baccarat, the city of crystal, so it was only natural that, at the age of 14, he should begin an apprenticeship with René Georges Baillet, MOF 1965, with the noble material and particularly difficult-to-learn technique of art glassmaking with a blowtorch as his medium of creation.
DiscoverCesium
As a young boy, he was already familiar with the heat of the furnaces, the ballet of the glassmakers as they gathered the molten material, a simple magma to which they would give shape and colour, thanks to the fire that heated the material, the air they breathed in, and the water that was essential for cooling the tools.
