The Post-War Era

René Lalique died in 1945 and from this date the company was under the directorship of Marc Lalique (1900-1977) his son. He was responsible for introducing crystal into the glass and designed items. Perhaps the most popular piece he created was the Champs Elysees bowl in 1951, which is still in production today as a best seller.

In 1977 Marc died and his daughter Marie-Claude (1935-1977) became the CEO of the company. Besides introducing jewellery and fragrances to the brand, she designed glass items too with a particular focus on flowers, foliage, and animals.

More recently in 2008, the brand was acquired by the Lalique Group under the leadership of Silvio Denz. New works are being created or commissioned designs from artists, architects and sculptors, while earlier designs are reissued in varying colour-ways and in new sizes.
