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 Maison 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 mastered fire and matter.

Crocodiles, snakes, tree frogs, and turtles come to life in crystal paste, an exceptional material that enhances every detail: scales, sinuous movements, and aquatic transparencies. Since 1878, Daum has explored the animal kingdom through sculptures that blend realism and imagination. The elegance of the crystal snake, the power of the crystal crocodile, the delicacy of the crystal tree frog, and the wisdom of the crystal turtles have become timeless symbols. Crafted using the ancient lost-wax casting technique, these unique pieces combine artistic heritage with exceptional glassmaking expertise. Sought after by collectors, Daum reptile sculptures embody a singular universe where wild nature is crystallized into works of art.
