His childhood in Syria and Turkey with his grandfather shaped his artistic vision, inspiring the Mille Nuits line (One Thousand and One Nights) from Eastern tales and legends. His relationship with the brand began in 1996 with exclusive limited edition pieces. In 1999, he designed the first large chandelier of the collection, which then successfully expanded to include table lamps, glasses, cups (Flutissimo), vases… Baccarat, the most luxurious crystal in the world. The French house Baccarat is a reference in the manufacture of high-quality crystal. Founded in 1764, Baccarat was born from the efforts of a group of artisans to achieve the greatest purity of crystal. They are considered true magicians of this delicate material, perfecting their skills from generation to generation.
