Richard Orlinski

Since their first collaboration, Daum and Richard Orlinski have created 19 powerful and spectacular works, embodying the union of the centuries-old tradition of crystal and the contemporary aesthetic of the world's best-selling French sculptor.

Guided by his "Born Wild" concept, Richard Orlinski celebrates animality in its purest form, exalting strength, instinct, and freedom. His faceted works, cut like diamonds, reveal the tension between brutality and beauty, savagery and sophistication. In collaboration with Daum, these sculptures take on a new dimension: that of light captured in crystal glass. From the Wild Kong to the Wild Bear, including the Wild Panther and the Wild Crocodile, each piece stands as a contemporary icon, vibrant with intense colors—blue, amber, black, or red—and magnified by the translucency of the crystal. Richard Orlinski's raw art is thus sublimated by Daum's ancestral know-how, which for over 140 years has tamed fire and matter. This collaboration is an ode to untamed nature, a celebration of sculptural power and artisanal precision, a dialogue between contemporary art and high-end French craftsmanship.
