In 1971, he created narcisse for the baccarat house. Made of baccarat crystal, this glass with its original and vintage design is sublimely avant-garde and remains totally timeless. Its name and shape come from the narcissus flower, which tends to turn towards water features. The glass is off-center, with a hexagonal body, and its silhouette is uniquely beautiful. The design is available in different sizes of glasses and carafes.
