Established in 1586 and bestowed with its royal title by Louis XV in 1767, Saint-Louis is renowned for its exquisite hand-blown and hand-cut crystal. This mastery of French craftsmanship finds a stunning showcase in the Hôtel Regina, a historic Belle Époque gem redesigned by Dorothée Meilichzon. Here, the maison’s creations become instruments for modulating intimacy and atmosphere within each space.
Equipped with dimmers and cordless mobility, Saint-Louis lamps transition seamlessly from daytime illumination to evening candlelight, their adaptable radiance catering to the ambiance of the moment. The Cadence collection, designed by Pierre Charpin, beautifully marries clear crystal with parchment shades, exemplifying the brand’s seamless integration of tradition and contemporary design. Meanwhile, the Matrice lamp by Kiki Van Eijk, featured in the bedrooms, demonstrates the innovative potential of crystal in modern interpretations.
Throughout the communal spaces, Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance‘s Folia lamps, inspired by the flora of the Moselle region, highlight Saint-Louis’ enduring connection to its natural surroundings. Scattered throughout the hotel in various sizes and finishes, Folia proves itself to be a versatile lighting solution, capable of lending a distinct personality to each setting. The timeless elegance and unparalleled quality of Saint-Louis’ lighting creations bestow an aura of refined luxury upon the Hôtel Regina Biarritz. This harmonious partnership reaffirms the brand’s pioneering role in crystal design innovation.
