Ever since it was built at the start of the 18th century, the Hotel Particulier Rouché, on Rue de Prony, has been a temple to the arts. It showcases Decorative Arts, with Art Deco furnishings, and Lyrical Arts, with its grand music room which hosted recitals and concerts in its day. René Lalique greatly contributed to the grandeur of the period by creating exquisite decorative designs, such as a vast chandelier adorned with dragonflies and beetles, sconces in the shape of wheat sheaves and door handles embellished with blades of wheat. Inspired by the abundance of greenery on the building’s facade, and in keeping with the eloquent theme of Contemporary Nature, the design team at LIDS have chosen to continue this creative story throughout the interior of the property.

Entirely refurbished at the start of 2023 to accommodate the LALIQUE SA international head office, the mansion has been adorned with new bespoke decor created by LIDS, based around a fundamental design principle : The use of crystal to convey a unique poetic journey, expressed through a variety of iconic motifs. Light and crystal work together in different ways, to reflect the distinct proportions of each space. This has resulted in a remarkable architectural symphony. Throughout the property, the LIDS has created audacious crystal designs that blend iconic motifs with contemporary creative touches.
