SAND, TIME AND PEOPLE

MILLÉSIME 2024

In the beginning, there is sand, fine sand that slips through the fingers. Then, time and people. A lot of time and a lot of people, at every stage of creation, so that the sand becomes crystal, the material transforms into light and our Millésime come to life. These three pieces require a great deal of time and expertise to create: secrets handed down from generation to generation among the craftsmen at the Wingen sur Moder factory.
