the Gorilla has been the subject of a specific work on attitude and material. The polished silverback contrasts with the unstructured aspect of the arms, and the magma of mechanical parts, screws and nuts. The color, the shadows and the bursts of light of the crystal accentuate my delicate work. Jean-NoAs an earnest supporter of the French art scene and a crystal manufacturer deeply rooted in Nancy's history, it is only natural that Daum instigated a new collaboration with this local artist. The Maison Daum crystallizes the powerful gorillas of the artist. Initially works in iron and steel, created from the fusion of recovered nuts, screws and bolts, the y are transposed in crystal paste, this fragile, soft material with subtle colors, and arouse a new emotion. The crystal manufacturer, master of the crystal paste, stays true to the favorite material of the artist, and unveils a perfect reinterpretation masterpiece of the rendering of the fusion of metals.


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.
