THG Daum Collection

We are extremely proud to announce that the newest THG collection of luxury fittings was designed in collaboration with Daum, the legendary Parisian atelier devoted to producing lead crystal and art glass. This partnership reflects THG’s long-standing tradition of aligning with similar-minded luxury brands such as Lalique and Bernardaud to create products that are unparalleled in their look composition and design, bringing opulence and artistry to fine baths in extraordinary residences, hotels and spas worldwide.

THG Daum Collection

For the last 150 years, Daum has cultivated its artistic inclinations by forging working relationships with the greatest artists of every epoch including: Salvador Dali, Arman, Cesar, Dan Dailey, Andre Deluol, Claude and Francoise-Xavier Lalanne, Paloma Picasso, Roland Topor and Manolo Valdes. Situated in the Lorraine region, which has a historic tradition and expertise in glassmaking, Daum’s workshop was a wellspring of creative output including cut glasses, gilded bottles and objects adorned with coats of arms. Casting a piece using Daum’s exclusive process assures a rich and subtle palette of colors and a precision of contours, which would have been impossible to obtain using traditional crystal or glassblowing methods. This powerful and elegant artistic technique, more than ever before, affirms Daum’s creativity, and is among one of the many reasons why it was deemed worthy as a THG collaborator.

Today, art is unequivocally what has linked Daum’s inimitable collection throughout history. With the coalescence of Daum’s expertise in crystal and THG’s expertise in the art and craft of luxury tap fittings, the THG Daum Collection has been born. The collection consists of six opulent designs, each hand crafted by artisans, with each piece of crystal retaining its individuality and ensuring no two faucets are alike. The designs include: Island, Flore, Vegetal, Jade, Dragon, Paradise and Ginkgo.

We invite you to impart fine artisan and hand crafted luxury to your design team, bath project or clientele and celebrate this incredible and esteemed association between two extraordinary French brands—THG and Daum.
