Some forms of beauty don’t come from extravagance. Some creations don’t need rare or expensive materials to become unforgettable. And some moments—quiet, fleeting—have the power to remind us of what we may have forgotten: the art of living slowly, deeply, and beautifully. 

This is the spirit Baccarat—France’s iconic crystal house with over 260 years of heritage—wished to convey in its recent flower-arranging workshop held at its official boutique in Ho Chi Minh City. More than just a hands-on class, the event was a sensory and emotional journey, inviting each guest to reconnect with nature, with beauty in objects, and with the beauty within themselves. 

For centuries, Baccarat has graced royal palaces and refined interiors with its luminous creations. But beyond the brilliance, it stands for something deeper: Art de Vivre—the French art of living. A philosophy that encourages us not just to exist, but to savor every moment with all our senses. 

True to this ethos, each Baccarat creation—whether a wine glass, a flower vase, or a chandelier—carries a quiet mission: to awaken emotion through even the smallest details of daily life. 

At this workshop, the Eye vase—one of Baccarat’s contemporary icons—served as the stage for this philosophy to unfold through flowers and personal expression. 

With its modern, optical-illusion twist design, the Eye vase is striking not because it demands attention, but because it channels light and form with subtle sophistication. The deep, spiraled cuts catch and play with light, transforming it into waves that ripple through space—like a silent ballet of reflections. 

That’s why the Eye vase is a favorite among floral artists—those who believe that beauty doesn’t lie in rigid perfection, but in the relaxed and intuitive way nature finds its own voice. 

Each guest at the workshop received their own Eye vase, alongside a selection of humble, everyday blooms: chrysanthemums, carnations, dusty miller, asters—even a few wild branches that looked like they’d just been plucked from a backyard. 

No imported roses. No pre-made bouquets. No templates. Just a quiet invitation for each person to become their own kind of artist—to choose, compose, and tell a story that is uniquely their own. 

Inside the softly lit Baccarat boutique, the workshop unfolded like a series of personal conversations. A female guest gently shared how the strands of dried pineapple reminded her of the tangled emotions she was experiencing in daily life. Meanwhile, a young participant, arranging flowers for the first time, chose a small white Phalaenopsis orchid—drawn to its light, fluttering presence, like a butterfly in flight.

These seemingly unconnected stories became the most beautiful material of the workshop: flowers, not just as decoration—but as memory, emotion, and personal reflection. 

Baccarat doesn’t design its vases to be filled only with exotic or rare blooms. Even a humble roadside flower, when seen with reverence, deserves to shine in any living space. That’s why this workshop centered not on technique or perfection, but on two ideas: intimacy and personal creativity. 

Arranging flowers isn’t a task. It’s an act of presence. You must look closely, feel the textures, sense the rhythm, and listen—so you know which flower belongs at the center, which branch should peek gently from the back, and which spaces need to be left empty so the arrangement can breathe. 

Some say it’s like meditation. Others call it self-care—an intimate, quiet joy that stirs something deep inside. 

And when these blooms are placed inside the Eye vase—with its ever-shifting play of light—it becomes clear: sometimes, all you need is a few flowers, a beautiful object, and a moment carved out just for yourself... to rediscover what it means to feel alive. 

Baccarat does not chase trends. The brand has always followed its own path—creating objects that speak softly, yet remain forever present in the spaces we hold most dear. 

Through immersive experiences like this workshop, Baccarat invites us to remember: true beauty isn’t found in luxury or rarity. It lives in connection. Connection to nature. To the spaces we inhabit. And, most importantly, to our inner world. 

A Baccarat vase—whether placed in a grand estate or a cozy kitchen nook—carries this message: 
Slow down. 
Observe more deeply. 
And allow yourself to love beauty in your own way.
