# Crystal Heritage Books The Résonances is a Photo Book Exploring Baccarat's Crystal-Making Heritage By Amy Duong | Published 2026-07-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rsonances References: [baccarat](http://baccarat.com/)  The Résonances documents Baccarat's 262-year crystal-making tradition through the photography of Aliocha Boi and Daphné Lejeune. Created inside the French luxury house's historic manufacture in northeastern France, the publication captures crystal production from raw materials and workshop tools to skilled artisans and finished pieces. Released alongside an exhibition at Fisheye Éditions during the Les Rencontres d'Arles photography festival, the book offers a visual record of the craftsmanship and architecture that define Baccarat's manufacturing legacy. Boi's photographs are captured in a way that focus on the atmosphere of the workshops, highlighting furnaces, crystal fragments, and the daily work of artisans to contrast the production environment with the refinement of the finished objects. Lejeune explores the material through orange-toned photograms inspired by molten crystal, examining its relationship with light and sound.
