Thomas Bastide : Design

Crystal or steel, wood or obsidian, pewter or silver, glass or porcelain, French designer Thomas Bastide takes materials and shapes them into everyday objects that he transforms, magnifies and makes unique. In almost 40 years, Bastide has created more than 1,200 pieces for Baccarat.

This monograph reveals the creations and abundant universe of this exceptional designer, who embodies a certain idea of French savoir-vivre. The book is organised into thematic chapters based on concepts dear to Thomas Bastide, including balance, nature, the spiral and optics.
