THE HISTORY

ORIGINS

Baccarat was born in 1764, in the Eastern French village that bears its name. In 1816, the Maison perfected a secret formula that gave rise to crystal of unparalleled purity. Guided by hand, breath, and eye, a collective of artisans shaped the material with unique craftsmanship — establishing a standard of excellence that still endures today.

CONTEMPORARY VISION

Driven by creative freedom, the Maison fosters an ongoing dialogue between heritage and innovation. Salvador Dalí, Ettore Sottsass, Michele De Lucchi, Philippe Starck, Patricia Urquiola, Virgil Abloh… these visionary creators have blended their imagination with the artisans’ expertise.

From this spirit of collaboration emerge unique objects, deeply rooted in the zeitgeist.

ULTIMATE ART DE VIVRE EXPERIENCE

Today, Baccarat extends its unique and ultimate experience of French art de vivre across the globe, from Paris to Tokyo, New York to Seoul, Dubai to Hong Kong. In its boutiques, maisons, bars, hotels, and restaurants, Baccarat celebrates emotion at its most radiant.
