In 1826 this cradle of Cistercian spirituality at
Val Saint-Lambert was transformed into a radiant centre for the crystal industry.Founded by a chemist, M. Kemlin, and a graduate of the polytechnic, M. Lelièvre, who came from the Vonêche crystal works in the Ardennes, the "Val Saint-Lambert Glassworks Company" rapidly made a name for itself and established its reputation. Today, the Val Saint-Lambert has a presence in over forty countries, from the U.S.A., Saudi Arabia and Spain to Japan. Supplier to Royal Families, producer of prestigious unique pieces and trophies, Val Saint-Lambert is also famous for its superb creations of "double coloured cut" crystal. Val Saint-Lambert today also produces, very successfully, a sober and seductive range of clear crystal that it calls "The Val in Everyday Life". A modern style and user-friendliness combine to give birth to simple, solid and beautiful objects (glasses, tumblers, vases and ashtrays) designed for everyday use. |
