SPRING 2026
A well-designed project does not end with the architecture. It is completed in the details. Accessories are the final layer that brings intention, balance, and personality to a space. This is where the client’s taste and references truly appear. The designer’s role is to complement, not compete, selecting pieces that add quietly and elegantly.
For this season, my choice is intentional: a vase. Spring invites freshness, light, and flowers that bring movement and softness into the home. The Alizé vase from Lalique’s Air de Lalique – Chapter I collection reflects this spirit beautifully. Founded in 1888 by René Lalique, the French house became known for transforming glass and crystal into artistic forms, moving from the Art Nouveau movement into Art Deco while maintaining exceptional craftsmanship.
The vase’s vertical lines create a gentle sense of flow, echoing the lightness of spring. Crafted through precise artisanal techniques, with a satin finish and refined detailing, each curve feels intentional. The soft pearlescent coral tone diffuses light subtly, adding warmth without heaviness. Styled with tulips or simple branches, it enhances the flowers while remaining elegant on its own. It is a piece defined by tradition, craftsmanship, and timeless sophistication.
