James Turrell and Lalique Collaborate on Limited-Edition Perfumes and Bottles

An unusual yet exquisite collaboration debuted this fall at Paris+ Art Basel: Lalique x James Turrell. The luxury French crystal brand and legendary American artist culled their respective expertise to produce a limited-edition collection of perfume and perfume bottles as well as a 15-by-18-inch decorative panel.

The project is the brainchild of Lalique Group chairman and CEO Silvio Denz, who, after visiting Turrell’s Roden Crater in Arizona, where the artist lives, then recalled how founder René Lalique was known as the “sculptor of light,” had the aha moment to contact Turrell about working together. Denz invited Turrell to the company’s workshops in Wingen-Sur-Moder, where he witnessed master glass­makers in action. The experience resulted in two perfume bottles made from Lalique’s purple, sapphire blue, and clear crystal, their prism- and stupalike forms inspired by those Turrell has seen in Egypt, Tibet, and Burma.

“Their architectural structure, like that of the pyramids, makes them monuments of high spiritual value in which light plays an essential role,” he says. Each contains a different scent, also developed by Turrell: the feminine, fruity Purple Sage, named for the plant that blooms only in his home state, and the masculine, musky Range Rider, reminiscent of the sun-drenched leather chaps used in western ranching. Turrell has a second project underway with his newfound collaborator: a malt-whiskey decanter for Glenturret, a Scottish distillery recently acquired by Denz.

2021 Best of Year winner for Iconic Old Classic

Experiencing perhaps the greatest James Turrell piece in New York doesn’t require a museum membership. You only need to have business to conduct with this family-run office. Rising through its double-height reception area is Turrell’s enormous hollow egg shape, a chamber that required a laborious six-month process to construct from white solid-surfacing and concealed LEDs. Typically for this master of light and space, his mysterious conceptual sculpture alters our perceptions. Once you enter the egg and encounter the shifting colors inside, everything outside it looks different for a few seconds.

Like the Turrell, its surroundings make us see the world differently. A Manhattan office, it turns out, can be as graciously proportioned and serene as a Palladian villa. That’s thanks to the impressive real estate: 40,000 square feet of a tower by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, and even more so to the joint efforts of the interiors firms, led by Interior Design Hall of Fame members Lee Mindel, Brad Zizmor, and Dag Folger, the latter two the co-founding principals of A+I. Mindel relates the egg installation to the philanthropic work done by the client: “This is a metaphoric think tank. They desired contemplative spaces, as opposed to some others that we all know of. That’s something beyond interior design.”
