![]() B&T are fairly generous in their sizing from what I’ve made before. He turns three next week and is quite big for his age, but I didn’t think the 2 to 3 would last too long. I made the 3 to 4 size and it is a little big for him. I would never pick this shade for myself, but it quite suits Joe’s very Celtic colouring. I used a lovely Verson Puoti French terry I bought from Jumping June textiles and decided to liven it up a little by finishing the bands and cuffs in a burnt orange rib from Girl Charlee. This is a nice, simple construction which runs like most tee/jumper patterns. “Kids stuff is so quick to make” I told myself and, while this is normally true, I hadn’t looked too closely at the Ottobre patterns and they were a lot more complicated than his usual makes! ![]() Then I went slightly crazy and decided to make another sweater and a pair of sweatpants from the Ottobre Kids 06/2017 edition at the same time. I realized I didn’t have a basic crew neck sweater pattern and, while at this point I probably could have come up with something myself, I went ahead and bought the Brindille and Twig version. I don’t make him clothes too often as he gets lots of lovely garments from friends and family, but he is just about growing out of some and was in need of a sweater or two for this ongoing winter snap here in Seattle. On 1stDibs, find vintage Lalique decorative objects, lighting, tables and more.I’ve made a few more things for Joe and used a few new patterns. It remains a well-regarded lifestyle brand underpinned by a rich history in glassmaking. In 2008, Lalique was acquired by Art & Fragrance, now known as Lalique Group. She renewed the traditional jewelry and fragrance side of the business. Marc's daughter, Marie-Claude Lalique, became CEO in 1977. The firm continued to produce its signature glass pieces as well as crystal vases, decor and serveware. Lalique died in 1945, and the reins at the company were passed to his son, Marc Lalique. Lalique began receiving high-profile commissions - in 1929, he decorated the luxurious Côte d’Azur Pullman Express carriages, and in 1935, he designed lighting for the Grand Salon and dining room on the ocean liner SS Normandie. A marvel of glassmaking that convincingly depicted movement, the vase displays his technical skills and artistry. Shortly afterward, in 1927, he created one of his most iconic pieces: the Bacchantes vase. His attractive bottles and other pieces were shown at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in 1925 - the event that brought Art Deco to worldwide attention - catapulting Lalique to new levels of fame. Lalique opened his eponymous glassworks in Combs-La-Ville, Paris, in 1909. He designed a line of molded glass perfume bottles with frosted surfaces and patterned reliefs. In 1907, Lalique began a revolutionary partnership with French perfumer François Coty. Lalique’s work gained greater prominence at the 1900 Paris Exhibition, which served as a showcase for his extraordinary designs. ![]() Not one to follow trends, Lalique gained popularity for his innovative accessories, which merged glass, enamel and ivory - materials that were uncommon in jewelry-making - with semi-precious stones and metals. He took over a workshop in Paris in 1885 and opened his own business soon afterward. ![]() Lalique's skill and esteem broadened, and he created jewelry for renowned houses like Cartier and Boucheron. As a young man, he apprenticed under Parisian Art Nouveau jeweler Louis Aucoc and studied at L'École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs. Rene Laliqué was born in 1860 in Aÿ-en-Champagne, France. Under his masterful leadership, Lalique came to be known for its gorgeous vases, sculptures and glass and crystal serveware. The firm’s founder, René Lalique, is a celebrated figure in Art Nouveau jewelry, which drew on feminine forms and natural-world themes. Lalique is a beacon of French opulence in glassmaking and decorative arts, an enduring brand with a history spanning over 130 years and at least three movements in art and design: Art Nouveau, Art Deco and modernism. ![]()
