French designer, artist, and animal lover, Yves Henry brings a joyful and irreverent touch to Maison Daum. His world, nourished by pop art and childhood, transforms familiar objects and figures into brightly colored sculptures, where humor meets tenderness. In 2023, with Wally the Kangaroo , the artist revisits the iconography of the kangaroo in a playful and expressive version. Molded in an intense blue crystal paste and punctuated with gold leaf details, this character with a mischievous look embodies the artist's playful and free spirit. It evokes the stuffed animals of our childhood, cartoons, and modern fables.
The collaboration between Daum and Yves Henry gives birth to a work that challenges the codes of luxury, while magnifying the traditional craftsmanship of the crystal factory. The precious material here embraces a light, accessible, and profoundly human imagination, where each detail tells a story full of tenderness and playfulness. A tribute to the animal world, to creative freedom, and to the child within us all.
