Oxymore by Saint-Louis
Crystal Icons from Saint-Louis – The Oxymore Collection
The steps to elegance. The "Oxymore" collection is one of the great modern classics from the renowned crystal glass manufacturer Saint-Louis. Geometric and organic at the same time, each Oxymore glass is created by hand in the Saint-Louis workshops in the east of France. Whether wine glasses, vases, or bowls, discover a modern icon of French crystal with "Oxymore".
Architectural Lines – The Contemporary Design of Oxymore
A child of craftsmanship. The "Oxymore" collection is the result of a harmonious collaboration between the hot and cold studios at Saint-Louis. The glassblowers from the hot studio and the engravers from the cold studio combined all of their expertise to create a technically sophisticated design only masters of their trade could conceive and bring to live.
The defining stylistic element of "Oxymore" is a linear stepped decoration that is directly inspired by the monumental lines of Art Deco. The steps effortlessly flow along the soft curves of the mouth-blown crystal glass. Like stairs hewn in stone, the steps expand and contract, sometimes balancing elegantly on their head while appearing unshakeable. The design can truly be understood as an oxymoron – a combination of opposites that expresses the impossible.
The interplay between classic crystal glass and architectural contours lends the collection an urban character that blends seamlessly into modern furnishing styles. Whether formal or casual, minimalist or maximalist, vintage or futuristic, "Oxymore" enriches every table with distinctive, timeless elegance.
Vibrant Beauty – The Highlights of Oxymore
Effortlessly, the goblets of the Oxymore glasses balance on their stepped bases. The wine glasses and water or whiskey tumblers are each available in three different sizes. Selected glasses are also available in two other colours in addition to clear, light blue and flannel grey.
The Oxymore bar glasses include whiskey tumblers, highball glasses, cocktail glasses, vodka glasses, and a cocktail shaker. Two carafes and a decanter complete the series. A highlight for any bar is the square carafe, whose stopper hovers above it like a chandelier.
A unique design for every piece. Saint-Louis completes the Oxymore collection with selected table accessories, all of which play with the Oxymore decor in their own way. These include a conical vase, wide bowls in large and small sizes and eye-catching candlesticks. Precise, elegant, weightless – the epitome of French excellence from the house of Saint-Louis.
