Baccarat’s Harry Nuriev Collection Spotlights Reimagined Zénith chandelier

Summary

• Baccarat collaborates with Harry Nuriev, reimagining the Maison’s icons through an experimental transformism approach
• The Zénith chandelier is reimagined with crystal and everyday objects, while limited Harcourt and Sirius editions are engraved with celebratory motifs

Baccarat has unveiled its new collaboration with designer Harry Nuriev, marking the Crosby Studios founder’s continuation of an experimental approach to transformism, where existing icons of the Maison are reimagined with contemporary interventions.

At the heart of the collection is a striking reinterpretation of the historic Zénith chandelier, first introduced in the mid‑19th century. Nuriev’s version integrates everyday objects like pens, jewelry, bottle caps, CDs and keychains into the chandelier’s crystal arms and prisms, creating a dialogue between heritage craftsmanship and the overlooked fragments of daily life. The result is both monumental and intimate, a sculptural installation that blurs the boundaries between function, memory, and artistic expression.

Beyond the chandelier, the collaboration extends to Baccarat’s most recognizable icons, including the Harcourt glassware and the Sirius crystal ball. Nuriev applies the same graphic language he previously used for Maison Baccarat’s entryway installation, inscribing words such as “salute,” “celebration,” and “enjoy the moment” alongside engraved motifs symbolic of the brand’s universe. These pieces are produced in limited editions, with the Harcourt Black Set restricted to 26 pieces, the Harcourt Multicolor Set limited to 8, and the Sirius Ball also available in just 8 examples.

Each item is crafted in Baccarat’s ateliers, where artisans employ gilding, enameling, and engraving techniques to bring Nuriev’s vision to life. Visit Baccarat’s official website for more details regarding the new Harry Nuriev collection.
