Kyriakos Kaziras is a professional photographer of Franco-Greek origin, living in France. From an early age, he developed a passion for photography and painting thanks to the influence of his two grandfathers. During his first trip to southern Africa, he fell in love with the wilderness, the light, and the animals. Since then, he has never stopped travelling to the most remote corners of the planet. Highly influenced by painting, Kyriakos Kaziras takes pictorial approach to photography; the cameras act as his paint brushes. the Maison Daum proposes a unique interpretation of the photographic work of artist Kyriakos Kaziras with a magnificent crystal sculpture of two polar bears emerging from the ice, in a limited edition of 250. the crystal reveals the luminous beauty and bluish tones of the iceberg, and translates the work of light that is so dear to the artist into sculpture. Through this dialogue between the photography of Kyriakos Kaziras and its own famous crystal work, Daum raises awareness of the importance of protecting our fragile natural environment.


Daum, the legendary glassmaker master, has kept alive for more than a century a love relationship with the greatest artists of its time, giving their work of art a second life of crystal and colours. From the Ecole de Nancy, from Art Nouveau to Art Decoratif, from Majorelle to Dali, Arman and Hilton McConnico, Daum has not missed any of the magic rendez-vous of the artistic creation and modern savoir-faire, which has always renewed the alliance of art and art craft.

Few brands have worked with as many artists: for nearly 140 years, more than 350 exceptional signatures have constituted a heritage beyond compare, a unique collection.

How to convey those works into crystal sculptures? This is where Daum's secret lies, shaper of the exception, highly knowledgeable workshop, laboratory of wonders, designer of incomparable objects. All of the Daum pieces are lovingly hand produced in France, using traditional lost wax sculpting technique.
