Bernard Pictet, the quintessence of innovative French glass making
Since 30 years, the Bernard Pictet workshops handle glass making and extract its quintessence used for yachts, palaces and deluxe boutiques.
Fragile, breakable, hard, transparent or opaque, glass is a magical material, made of sand, that fascinates since 3000 years and its usage, transformable to the infinite, has spread in all the universes, from the house to public spaces. Since 1981, the workshops of Bernard Pictet have made it a full-fledged art, by engraving it and using it for surprising decorations.
The art of glass making, the passion of Bernard Pictet
In the hands of dedicated house craftspersons, who draw their inspiration from the Art Deco period and whose talent led to the flagship being awarded the label of Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Patrimony Enterprise) glass is engraved, polished, inlaid with silver, sanded,—using hot or cold techniques, in order to satisfy the most high-end requests.
