The French luxury brand, recognized for its high-end and exclusive crystal products since 1764, found in the Illinois-born Abloh a collaborative and imaginative partner for the exposition.

The collection is made of a lighting unit, a center table unit and glasses. All pieces are numbered and have exclusively been "made to order" through the brand. Each piece was made in France, at the Baccarat manufacture in the Lorraine region.

“Working with Virgil has been an amazing experience for our artisans at Baccarat. From our first meeting, Virgil had crystal clear in mind and could imagine how these geometrical shapes would elegantly dance together suspended from a ceiling and sitting on a table. Our people in the Baccarat’s ateliers without any hesitation interpreted his vision and sketches relentlessly. Their unique skills and passion for perfection resulted in this amazing piece of art, says Daniela Riccardi, Global CEO of Baccarat.  

“In any creative endeavors, I am interested in collaborating with the best in class. For me Baccarat represents the expression of the dynamism of crystal through history and today. The 'crystal clear' line of objects is an extension of my art practice, expertly realized by the artisans of Baccarat," says Abloh.

]]> Virgil Abloh has cemented himself as one of the great minds in today's design and fashion industries by turning his craft into art without limits or borders. Now, the Artistic Director behind the iconic Louis Vuitton fashion house is venturing into the world of art and furniture with a new art installation in partnership with Vitra. The TWENTYTHIRTYFIVE exhibition will be on display at the  Zaha Hadid-designed Fire Station on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein, a mere four miles away from Basel, from June 12th through July 31st. In collaboration with Vitra and Art Basel, the highly-anticipated exhibition will feature an art installation and three limited-edition home design products.

The exhibition will showcase an art installation divided into two segments -- "Past/Present" and "Future." The latter focuses on the concept of how homes will function in the year 2035 and will bring to life Abloh's vision of the future. Mixing living and working spaces together, Abloh tackles the concept of furniture usage and embarks on the journey of exploring what the world of design will be like.

The three limited-edition home design products include an armchair, inspired by a 1950s Jean Prouvé design; a Petite Potence lamp with orange lacquer finishes; and a ceramic block, the most conceptual piece in the collection, forming the structural element of the TWENTYTHRITYFIVE exhibition.

The home design products will be available for purchase online at Vitra and will make its way across the sea as the brand prepares for its North America exhibition in New York this fall.
