Summary

About Baccarat

Baccarat is a French company specializing in the production of luxury goods, primarily crystal glassware. It was established in 1764 by the bishop of Metz as a glassworks factory in the town of Baccarat.[1] Initially the production consisted of window panes, mirrors, and tableware, until the first crystal oven went into operation in 1816. In 1824, the factory obtained the status of a limited company.[2]

In 1841, Baccarat began the production of the Harcourt glass, which celebrated its 180th anniversary in October 2021. To commemorate the anniversary, Baccarat released new variants of Harcourt and collaborated with 11 famous artists whose designs were showcased at Paris Fashion Week.[3]

The designs on the glasses are characters known as “Stands”. I designed “Stands” as the power of the mind as well as a talisman. One of them is a Stone Mask, which represents “eternal life”. I wonder how it will appear when wine is poured into it… I’m looking forward to it.
グラスにしたデザインは「スタンド」というキャラクターのデザインです。「スタンド」は心の力であり魔よけとしてデザインしました。 中のひとつに石仮面がありますが、それは「永遠の生命」の意味です。ワインを注いだとき、どんな風に浮き出てくるのか・・・。楽しみです。
