Free FormsHeritage

1940

It was just before the outbreak of the Second World War that Daum decided to switch to production of crystal to better tackle the new creative challenges ahead. In the post-war period, Daum explored the smallest details of work in crystal.

It pushed its know-how, its creativity and the manual dexterity of its glassmakers to new limits. This was the period of «free forms» that Daum inaugurated, once again due to the firm’s genius for innovation. Working at-the-fire, drawing out and deforming allowed Daum to give crystal organic forms which became emblematic of the House during the 1950s.
