World-renowned for its crystal ware, Christofle brings a new material to the Art of the Table with Tourbillon: pieces in blown glass, fruits of the collaboration with Alya Tannous. Those unfamiliar with blown glass will be surprised by the finesse and weightlessness of these pieces: their artisanal creation results in unique objects through which the light can shine, adding a touch of the sublime to these airy, ethereal creations.

The pieces in the Tourbillon collection may naturally vary slightly in size due to the artisan production process.

The collaboration between Christofle and Alya Tannous has resulted in six new pieces: a champagne flute, a red wine glass, a white wine glass, a water glass, and two candlesticks. Elegant and delicate, the pieces in the Tourbillon collection are suited for daily use. Thanks to their use of borosilicate glass, which is more resistant to heat and wear, than conventional glass.

TOURBILLON – NEW

World-renowned for its crystal ware, Christofle brings a new material to the Art of the Table with Tourbillon: blown glass, a collaboration with Alya Tannous. Born in London, with Levantine roots and Parisian at heart, Alya Tannous studied literature and theatre at Queen Mary University, London.

In Paris, she began her career in luxury goods, joining the Haute Couture house Christian Dior, and then the Pia de Brantes Public Relations firm. Alya discovered blown glass, whiletravelling in Egypt with her mother. Who is, Lina Tannous, a celebrated interior designer. Inspired by this delicate and ancestral technique, which was developed in the Middle East in the first century BC, Alya immediately decided to devote herself to this half-forgotten craft. Her creations are works of art for everyday living, that express her idea of elegance.
