In 1890, Lalique is recognized as one of the most important jewelry designers of French Art Nouveau, creating innovative pieces for the new boutique of Sa-muel Bing in Paris, «La Maison de l'Art Nouveau» He participated in the 1900 Universal Exhibition in Paris, which established an interna-tional reputation for him. While keeping the sources of inspiration of Art Nouveau, fauna and flora, including peacock and insects. He innovates by using materials little used for jewelry at that time: glass, enamel, leather, horn, mother of pearl. After opening a boutique place Vendôme in Paris, he began to design glass perfume bottles. He also does so in order to produce beautiful objects in important series, and therefore to make his art accessible to a growing number of people. Vases, cups, dishes, perfume bottles, emblems of major car brands, or panels (such as those that will decorate the dining room of the Normandy liner) are produced in series according to new techniques such as colored glass, opalescent, frosted, engraved or speckled. In 1920, he turned to Art Deco. It also creates aesthetic effects: Lalique satin, opalescent glasses and also has sinuous fab-rics, fans and ironwork pieces. He had his own pavilion at the Paris Decorative Arts Exhibition in 1925 where he applied the many resources offered by glass to decoration (fountains, lighting, doors). The factory in Alsace, closed during the war, was reopened by his son Marc in 1946 after the death of his father.
