The Baccarat House in Moscow ~ Phillipe Starck

And here we are at the Baccarat House in Moscow.

Can you believe how decadent and sultry the bathroom

alone looks? Abosutely gorgeous. This place is also

designed by Phillipe Starck.

Baccarat began in 1764 when a glassworks company was

founded in the small village of Baccarat in Lorraine. After more

than 240 years, Baccarat has become the world leader in the

luxury crystal market. They were the official crystal maker

to past French Kings and other royal families in Europe

including the Russian Czars.

The facade of the building looks just as

impressive and grand.

The red carpet treatment indeed is rolled

out for all who visit any house of Baccarat.

A grand staircase with beautiful lamp posts and lighting.

A gargantuan chandelier graces a huge room.

The boutique looks stunning in all grays,

mirrored surfaces and chrome. It's so

sleek and chic. Love it!

It's really neat how the surface of this wardrobe

reflects and shows the chandelier behind. Yowzers!

How the heck do they make something so beautiful!

A darker reflective room as a contrast to

the silver and chrome room before. Reminds

me of a very sleek and modern Gothic styled

room.

The color palette matches their

latest advertisements - also in

black and white.

I rather liked this advertisement by Baccarat as well.

And this is the reason why Baccarat crystal

is world renowned. It certainly cost a pretty

penny as well.


Didn't realize that Baccarat sold some items of furnishings.

I wouldn't dare ask how much a table like this would cost.

Probably a mortgage...

Certainly on my list to visit whenever I get to Moscow.

The World of Baccarat and Phillipe Starck - Paris

La Cristal Room Baccarat in Paris is an ultra fabulous

restaurant on the restaurant scene. In 2003, Baccarat

opened its first flagship boutique store, crystal museum

and restaurant all under one roof of a huge building. This

building has already become a landmark in Paris and well

known on the social circuit in Paris.



The Baccarat House as it is dubbed, is designed by none

other than Phillipe Starck. The facade of the building

is certainly impressive, but not as impressive with the

millions dollars of crystal the inside is decked out in.

Inside you are greeted with one of the world's largest

crystal chandelier's. It is indeed a sight to behold.

You don't really realize the scale of this chair until

you take a photo of it next to the stair case.

Can you believe how reflective all of the surfaces are?

Here's a closer look at that awesome table.

A very impressive ballroom filled with awe inspiring

Baccarat chandeliers in the very decadent French style

of the past.

I would love to dine at their pink restaurant.

The decor is simply fantastic.

More photos of the restaurant.

And of course, more chandeliers!

A look at their boutique from the outside.

Bet you didn't think it would be lit up in

Fuscia and Red at night. I didn't...

Stay tuned for Baccarat in Moscow on Wednesday.
