4. Historical reference from Saint Louis

Bearing the name of the oldest glassware manufacturer, Saint Louis is going to display a wide range of its signature works of art, including the Royal, Quadrille, Tommy, Quart, Apollo and Hulotte series.

The newly released Royal line is highly versatile while unleashing the modern element of breaking through the timeline. Another thing to note is the Quadrille series designed for the 65 anniversary of Versailles. The brand redesigned its iconic cut with a geometrical approach and topped the inverted vases with Carrare marble to make it not just a container for flowers but also a pedestal table.
