Born in 1967, the French designer Emmanuel Babled moved to Italy where he studied at the
European Institute in Milan. Some ten years ago, he discovered glass as a medium by creating a series of pieces for Venini,
with whom he has been regularly collaborating ever since. Emmanuel Babled’s works have been on exhibit several times at
Id ée in Tokyo, in Paris at Yves Gatous, and at the Scremini Gallery. The Néotu Gallery played host to its creations in 1997
and in September 2001 during the “Smash” group exhibition of glass design of which he was the initiator. At present, he is
guest professor at the Domus Academy of Milan and at the Eindhoven Design Academy.

Baccarat Crystal has, from the beginning, affixed its signature on strong works illustrating all the facets of artistic craftsmanship and covering a vast repertoire of inspiration.
In 1764 King Louis XV of France gave Bishop Montmorency-Laval of Metz permission to found a glassworks in the village of Baccarat located in Lorraine in eastern France.
The creations of great artists inspired by the magic of crystal are all magnificent stones brought together into building the Art de Vivre collection.
This is how Baccarat perpetuates the great French tradition of a cosmopolitan art of living. Envisioned by Philippe Starck, the Baccarat House in Paris, home to the brand’s headquarters, is a meeting place for its most beautiful creations – and one of its most beautiful manifestations.
Crystal Classics is an authorized Baccarat retailer.
