n 2010, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of René Lalique’s birth in 1860, LALIQUE created the “Hommage à René Lalique” collection. In this collection, Lalique re-examines and reinterprets iconic glass creations of Rene Lalique. Dancing and twirling swallows (hirondelles) have always been a part of the Lalique’s aesthetic. Aligned with the light of the crystal, these birds are synonymous with sheer refinement. Rene Lalique, creator of modern perfumery, created the “Trois Hirondelles” perfume bottle in 1920.
