Daum
140 years of excellent know-how.
From glass to crystal to pâte de verre, Daum has always known how to reinvent itself through innovation and creation. From a family history to a universal heritage, Daum transforms while maintaining the excellence of its know-how. " Pâte de verre " has become the House's identity since 1968; a lost-wax casting technique, unique to the crystal factory, and a historic setting, the city of Nancy, make this manufactory a must-see artisan workshop. Through a long and complex process of sculpting, lost-wax casting, and foundry work, culminating in the pâte de verre piece, the artisans of the manufactory write history through their mastery of materials and colors, using a palette of 40 shades. Moiré effects, translucent mineral or frosted matter—these subtle harmonies unique to Daum's pâte de verre objects are the secret of a completely artisanal creation process, passed down from generation to generation. A name to describe a family history, of men and women, of know-how, of materials and time: Daum, one of the finest French crystal makers, has become a living heritage in 140 years of creation.
