STORIES OF TALENT

La Cristallerie de Montbronn, a French art of living...

Once upon a time, there was a small village in Moselle where you are still a glassmaker and tailor from father to son.... Indeed, it is here in the east of France (the cradle of French crystal since the 18th century) that the Cristallerie de Montbronn was born. Founded in 1930 by Joseph Louis Ferstler, taken over by his sons in 1977, it is today headed by Frédéric Muller whose objective, with his passionate teams, is to perpetuate this high level of excellent craftsmanship and French-style art de vivre.

For years, the Cristallerie de Montbronn has been constantly developing new products and new collections, combining exceptional know-how and contemporary design, without forgetting colours, another of its assets. Indeed, the use of colour is a true speciality of Cristallerie de Montbronn, ranging from the purest transparency to shimmering colours. Crystal sublimates the lightest to the darkest colours that Montbronn offers us in a wide palette.

For the Cristallerie de Montbronn, the creative work is an essential stage because it is at this moment that the first lines of a collection, of a design, of a new poetry are laid down on paper.

Once the prototype has been completed, the manufacturing process can begin at the factory: cutting with a diamond wheel, polishing or inlaying, a work carried out by the hand of Man and his incomparable know-how while taking care of health and environmental concerns.

More than 1,000 exceptional pieces are produced every day, because the Cristallerie de Montbron is above all the refinement of a brilliance, a light, a transparency but also a sound, this inimitable tinkle. It is certain that Cristallerie de Montbronn will sublimate your tables, your bouquets and your interiors for a long time.

Many French Palaces such as the Crillon (Paris), the Hôtel du Palais (Biarritz) or the Negresco (Nice) have asked Cristallerie de Montbronn to bring all this magic to their exceptional tables.

Thanks to ts success, its passion for excellence and its many skills, the Cristallerie de Montbronn has been awarded the prestigious "Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant" (EPV) label since 2006, a mark of recognition from the French State set up to promote French companies with excellent craftsmanship.
