HISTORY

ORIGINS

Baccarat was founded in 1764 in the village in eastern France that bears its name. In 1816, the Manufacture developed a secret formula that gave rise to crystal of unparalleled purity. Guided by hand, breath, and eye, its collective of artisans shapes the material with exceptional craftsmanship, establishing a standard of excellence that endures to this day.

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, and Virgil Abloh are among the visionary creators who have united their imaginations with the extraordinary craftsmanship of the artisans at the Manufacture.

This spirit of collaboration gives rise to singular creations that embody the spirit of their time.

Today, Baccarat brings its unique vision of the French art de vivre to destinations around the world—from Paris to Tokyo, New York to Seoul, Dubai to Hong Kong. Across its boutiques, Maisons, bars, hotels, and restaurants, Baccarat celebrates emotion in its most radiant form.
