Somogyi Crystal – A Gem in Paris

One of my favorite stores is Somogyi in Paris, France (formerly known as Crystal Mosaic), named after it’s founder S. P. Somogyi, former creative director for Swarovski Crystal.

In 1960, Mr. Somogyi started working for Swarovski, first in sales and then on the creative side.  In the early 70s, he started creating crystal designs for the product consumer market – tableware, decorative objects, lighting etc…

Since retiring from Swarvoski in 2002, Mr. Somogyi opened his Paris store. Working with Murano and Bohemian glass, Swarovski crystal, mosaics and precious metals, his creations are truly one of a kind. The website can’t really do justice on how the light sparkles on these pieces or the quality of the detail work all done by hand.
