Palm Beach, the prestige of crystal at the service of tropical beauty
This collection was conceived in 2023 by the discerning eye of floral designer Emilio Robba, who has developed a deep connection with Maison Daum over time. Renowned for his sensitivity and ability to translate the beauty of nature into a timeless artistic form, Emilio Robba has brought a wealth of creativity to this collection.
A visual evocation of the tropical world. Inspired by the date palm, this collection brings a touch of refined exoticism into interiors, enhanced by the virtuoso craftsmanship of Daum Crystalworks. The Prestige vase is the centerpiece of the Palm Beach collection. This sculptural work stands out with its slender silhouette, its long palm leaves fanned out, paying homage to the majesty of tropical trees. The shades of turquoise blue and jungle green adorning the leaves create sublime plays of light, as if filtered through lush vegetation. The vase rests on a patinated bronze base, adorned with a finely crafted date palm branch in crystal and bronze. This detail testifies to the exquisite finish of this exceptional piece. The tropical world of the Palm Beach collection extends beyond this single piece. It also extends to other refined creations, all resulting from the same technical and artistic excellence: a large leaf-shaped bowl that reveals the same vibrant hues, a centerpiece with a botanical feel, and a small vase delicately adorned with 24-karat gold leaf, a nod to the sun bathing tropical landscapes in light. The large leaf-shaped bowl, with its delicate undulations and vibrant colors, evokes the swaying of palm fronds in the sunlight. The centerpiece also evokes the beauty of the tropics through its large, elegant, and structured floral corolla.
The Palm Beach collection: where the tropical world meets fine craftsmanship
What makes the Palm Beach collection so unique is its singular way of combining ancestral craftsmanship with contemporary tropical inspiration. By using the demanding technique of pâte de cristal, Daum Crystalworks imbues each of its creations with a chromatic depth that only this process allows. Light filters into the material, revealing the veins of leaves, the supple curves of forms, and the shifting reflections of colors, as if each piece were a crystallized fragment of the tropical world. The collaboration with Emilio Robba, artist-in-residence at Daum, further enhances this sensitive and poetic approach to the tropical universe. Far from being mere reproductions of nature, the pieces in the Palm Beach collection convey an emotion—the kind one feels before the wild and singular beauty of a tropical landscape, between blue skies and lush foliage bathed in light. With Palm Beach, Manufacture Daum and Emilio Robba have created a collection capable of capturing the decorative power of the tropics and transcribing it with unparalleled finesse, thus offering a unique artistic interpretation of the tropical world.
