Arman

The meeting between Daum and Arman dates back to the end of the 20th century; together they embody a bold dialogue between glassmaking tradition and contemporary art. A major figure of Nouveau Réalisme, Arman is recognized for his iconic works based on the accumulation, fragmentation, and recomposition of objects. By associating himself with the Daum crystal factory, he transcends his artistic gesture and the brand's feminine universe through crystal paste, a living and vibrant material by essence.

This collaboration resulted in more than 7 exceptional works, including "The Soul of Venus" and "Tranchitude," modern and powerful interpretations of the Venus de Milo. These works symbolize the duality between classical beauty and a contemporary vision, between permanence and fragmentation. Colored crystal blends with patinated bronze or solid silver in a striking play of contrasts, reinterpreting the canons of ancient statuary through the lens of Arman's plastic language.

Each sculpture thus becomes a visual manifesto: memory in fragments, recomposed beauty, reinvented heritage. Together they interpret the innovative principle of cutting, which has become, over time, a signature of this genius of the genre. Through this collaboration, Daum extends its role as a patron of great names in art, offering their works a new breath, both sensual, sculptural and timeless.
