Lalique’s light-inspired collaboration with James Turrell

Lalique called on American light artist James Turrell for its new perfume extracts. For the bottle design, which “had to contain the light and yet allow its slight coloring to shine through,” Turrell was inspired by both Egyptian architecture and stupas found in Asia. The handmade flacons with their striking geometric shapes – angular for men’s fragrance Range Rider and soft curves for women’s fragrance Purple Sage – are in polished, colored crystal.

“Collaborations with great artists like James Turrell push us beyond our limits. It’s a major challenge that we welcome. It’s also a great source of pride for the glassmaking teams who have an opportunity to display their exceptional expertise,” Marc Larminaux, Artistic and Creative Director at Lalique, said in a statement.
