ELIZABETH DE PORTZAMPARC

THE COLLECTION

It is all lightness, as it undulates, twists and soars. Born of the encounter between Elizabeth de Portzamparc’s imagination and Lalique’s expertise, Tandrillah is the crystallization of a new adventure in the Crystal Architecture collection. Since 2014, this collection has brought together original concepts by the greatest creative forces in architecture.

Unique in form and luminosity, Tandrillah is a distillation of more than thirty years of experimentation by Elizabeth de Portzamparc, the author of numerous projects worldwide, from Paris to Shanghai. This Franco-Brazilian artist has a global approach to architecture and design, embracing sociology, ecology and sustainable development. A vision of art without frontiers. This is an aspiration that spoke to Lalique. Since its very beginnings, Lalique has continually broken down the barriers between different areas of expertise and different styles. This unprecedented dialogue has given rise to an exceptional piece in Lalique crystal.
