A MAISON WITH THE ART OF TASTE

THE ARCHIVES IN A FRIDGE

Opposite the grand staircase leading to the first floor, Harry Nuriev has installed showcases representing ready-made refrigerators (a nod to Alain Ducasse) in which masterpieces from Baccarat's heritage collection are displayed in cool conditions, as if the artist wanted to keep the brand's DNA at the right temperature.

These historic pieces include the Chanel plate, created in 1964 for Baccarat's bicentenary; and L'un Parfait, a set of six black Harcourt crystal glasses, only one of which is perfect - according to the quality requirements, designed by Philippe Starck. Above the display cases stands the Horloge Soleil, composed of sixteen crystal rays, and designed by Georges Chevalier; it adorned Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe's Manhattan apartment.
