For centuries, crystal has been a favorite material for creating interior decoration items. Its irresistible sparkle, transparency and dispersion combined with its fragile properties make it more precious than anything else.
Daum Crystal officially comes to Vietnam through distributor EuroStyle - Distributor of many high-end furniture brands from Europe.
Why do the upper class like to collect crystals?
For centuries, crystal decorations have been favored by the upper class for their beauty and craftsmanship. Invented in the 17th century, artisans discovered how to add lead oxide to glass to achieve perfect transparency. Since then, crystal has become a high-end furniture item loved for its sparkle and elegance. Combined with the fragility of this decoration, it makes people cherish and value it even more.
With “Pâte de verre”, Daum crystal made a big splash in color mixing techniques.
In 1968, the history of crystal making made a big splash when the French brand Daum successfully revived the “Pâte de verre” method - a secret crafting technique of the ancient Egyptians. This is a technique of mixing colors into crystal, or fragments are packed into a block before fusing together in a kiln.
The Daum crystal brand was founded in 1878 in the ancient village of Lorraine (Nancy, France) by Jean Daum. Over the past 145 years, this manufacturer has collaborated with famous genius artists and more than 350 works of art to bring crystal masterpieces to satisfy collectors around the world.

How to hunt for limited edition crystal collections
An interior collector shared: “For me, collecting Daum crystals is not only a personal hobby but also a legacy for my children to inherit works of high artistic value and for my next generation to be able to appreciate beauty from a young age.”
Finding and collecting authentic “real” works of art is always a concern for the upper class. Due to their busy lives, the wealthy in Asia rely on consultants and personal shoppers to help them find them. Aimee Hashim, a well-known personal shopper in the region, said: “The common trait of the ultra-wealthy clients is that they always know what they want and they need it as soon as possible. They don’t want to miss out on all the hottest, most desirable items. They also have a preference for buying a specific item they have their eye on in all the available colors and styles.”
Work closely with a personal buyer to quickly acquire authentic Daum crystal pieces.
Grasping this trend, EuroStyle - a distributor of a series of high-end furniture brands from Europe, has cooperated with crystal maker Daum to become the official distributor in Vietnam. Market sensitivity has helped EuroStyle support "customers" better when collecting Daum crystal works.
