Contemporary Art

A privileged witness to art history, Daum has traversed eras, absorbing major artistic movements which it has boldly reinterpreted while remaining faithful to the Lorraine glassmaking tradition for which it is renowned. In the world of contemporary art, Daum reveals its purest vision of creation: art as a dialogue between matter and light. Each piece is born from an encounter between an artist and the ancestral expertise of Nancy's master glassmakers. Together, they shape crystal to express the emotions of our time: strength, fragility, movement, and transparency. Contemporary art at Daum is multifaceted. It explores both poetic figuration and stylized abstraction, oscillating between formal balance and creative freedom.

Crystal then becomes a living, vibrant, almost organic material, capable of capturing an idea, a breath, a moment. These sculptures, often limited editions, bear the signature of international artists who engage in dialogue with the Maison: contemporary painters, designers, architects, and sculptors. Each work is an ode to modernity, a bridge between the heritage of Art Nouveau and today's avant-garde.
