From the Caribbean to Madagascar to Indonesia, leaves from bamboo, banana, and coconut trees are braided in the art of basket weaving. This ancestral practice requires only fresh leaves and excellent dexterity; its use is near ubiquitous for everyday items such as baskets, hats, fences, and decorations. Daum's creative studios explore this art form by adapting the basket weaving technique to sculpture. Natural fibers are braided and then reshaped into vases and bowls. Fronds of different plants criss-cross and blend fresh, green, and slender-forming vessels where one can showcase cut flowers or freshly-harvested fruits. For an added touch of lush, tropical flora native to the islands where basket-weaving is still common practice, yellow vanilla flowers adorn and perfect these beautiful pieces.

The iconic theme of the rose, often revisited by Daum since the 1900s, is once again featured in the Rose Passion collection. This year, Daum has created four new vases in vibrant hues, elevated by touches of gold, along with a full collection of crystal rose decorative objects in white, green, ultraviolet, red, orange, black, and powder pink. These pieces-the products of true technical mastery by the Daum atelier-celebrate a world of beauty and poetry.

The saffron flower, crocus sativus, is one of the most valued flowers in the world, for its singular pistils that make precious spices. The saffron spice is one of the most expensive in the world, earning its name "red gold." Cultivated since the fifth century BC in the Middle East, saffron was renowned for its therapeutic qualities and was seen in abundance at the table of Achaemenid rulers. Today, it flavors the finest dishes, tints the noblest ornaments, and adds light to the most sophisticated cosmetics. 150,000 to 300,000 flowers are harvested to obtain just 1 kilo of saffron. The pistils are handpicked, flower by flower, with a delicate gesture, just like that of the sculptor composing the bouquet and carpet of saffron on the vases of this collection. An ode to a demanding yet delicate spice trade, the Saffron collection narrates the story of the blossoming flower in the sandy and sunny lands and the harvesting of the delicate pistils. Like the yellow-gold spice that colors our dishes, the Saffron pieces are tinted in rich, warm hues, evolving from amber to red.

Emilio Robba is one of the most celebrated floral art designers in the world. Born into a family of artists, he quickly became captivated by the artistic world. His first chose to take up painting, studying the language of forms and colors at the Academie des Beaux-Arts. He then turned quickly to floral art, guided by his fascination with nature. Inspired by the natural world and trends of interior design, Emilio Robba has created for Daum an extraordinary garden of Cacti, where the delicacy of the crystal contrasts with the toughness of the cactus. The crown jewel of this collection is a sculpture over one meter tall, which testifies to the exceptional savoir-faire of the manufacturer's skilled craftsmen. This spectacular decorative piece in crystal carved with meticulous details is accompanied by a large agave leaf centerpiece in soft shades of green and a cactus vase offered in options of gray-white or green.
