Daum Jean-Marie Massaud Kumara Vase Grey – Limited Edition of 125
Experience the intersection of high-concept modern design and ancient French savoir-faire with the Daum Kumara Vase in Grey. Designed by the world-renowned architect and designer Jean-Marie Massaud, this monumental piece is a celebration of organic fluidity and the serenity of nature. Handcrafted in Nancy, France, it represents one of the most technically challenging and visually striking collaborations in the Maison Daum contemporary collection.
Architectural Fluidity in Living Crystal Jean-Marie Massaud is famous for his organic minimalism, and the Kumara Vase is the perfect embodiment of this philosophy. Crafted using the legendary Pâte de Cristal (glass paste) technique, the vase features soft, sweeping curves that mimic the movement of wind or water. The sophisticated Grey palette is not a solid flat color, but a series of nuanced transparencies and smoky gradients that interact with light to create a captivating, sculptural spectacle.
Why This Item Is So Special
Ultra-Exclusive Limited Edition: This work is part of a strictly Limited Edition of only 125 pieces worldwide. Its extreme rarity makes it a blue-chip investment for collectors; once these 125 pieces are gone, this design will never be produced again.
Massive Sculptural Weight: Weighing an incredible 51.8 lbs, this is an exceptionally substantial work of art. The sheer volume of crystal required to fire a piece of this magnitude is a triumph of glassmaking engineering, providing a powerful and grounded presence in any room.
Jean-Marie Massaud Design: As one of the most influential designers of the 21st century, Massaud’s work for Daum is highly sought after by museums and private galleries. This vase bridges the gap between functional luxury and museum-quality contemporary sculpture.
One-of-a-Kind Artisanal Finish: Firing a piece of this thickness and width in the lost-wax process requires a complex 17-day kiln cycle. Because the mold is destroyed to reveal the crystal, every Kumara Vase is a unique original with its own specific internal light reflections and smoky depth.
Timeless Contemporary Aesthetic: The neutral, sophisticated grey tones and minimalist silhouette ensure this vase complements any high-end interior, from a sleek modern penthouse to a classic luxury estate, making it a highly versatile asset for any designer.
