A PROPOSAL
MANIFESTO
France in 1945 was in the throes of reconstruction. Christian Dior shortened skirts and created the New Look, while Saint-Gobain created "tempered glass", a completely new process that made glass unbreakable. To support this discovery, which would mark a new era in the history of tableware, he created the DURALEX brand.
DURALEX is "tough as nails": its cups wobble on every canteen trolley in France and never break. DURALEX is flexible: it will fit into every household, its products are stackable, its ranges are sequential, its designs follow fashion and its prices are accessible.
Made in France
A new state of mind was born: that of a happy, simple and easy-going everyday life. A few decades later, these famous glasses have become benchmarks! They have stood the test of time, passed down from generation to generation, and can still be found on every table, whether in a bistro or at home....
Nostalgic people have kept the reflex from their childhood of spotting this little number, the one that has written so many stories and which is none other than the number of the mould used to trace it...
They have always been made in France since their birth, and their material is durable, multi-generational and timeless, just like all Duralex products, designed to be functional and definitely empathetic.
Behind these living icons lies a whole universe that the brand embraces with generosity and creativity. So many everyday essentials that bring real freedom of spirit and movement to every moment of our lives.
BORN FREE AND PIONEERING, DURALEX HAS BEEN THE ALLY OF ALL TABLES SINCE 1945.
