This is not the first time that the European premiere of the Baccarat luxury collections is held not in the homeland of the famous French luxury brand, but in the fashion and design capital Milan. And, according to the already established tradition, the entourage is carefully chosen for the presentation: the palazzo, the church and, in April of this year, the courtyard of one of the most famous museums in Milan - Pinakothek Brera. In 38 rooms on two floors of its galleries hang immortal paintings by Raphael, Mantegna, Tintoretto.

The main event of the evening was the first Baccarat chandelier with precious stones, blue topazes Ostro - more than 700 blue ostrotopaz® gemstones are inserted into crystal frames. Maurice Samuel Ostro, a British entrepreneur, gemologist and philanthropist, head of Air Fayre, a pioneer in the development of blue topaz, helped realize it.

This masterpiece is dedicated to Max Ostro, the father of Maurice, a passionate admirer of the French House of Baccarat, who dreamed of implementing such an outstanding exhibit.
