Historical Context
During the 1960s, Daum embraced a new sculptural modernism. Moving beyond their earlier Art Deco legacy, the Maison explored bold, abstract forms with thick, heavy crystal, aligning with the era’s fascination for geometric lines and clean architectural silhouettes. The Bléneau / Blanzey design embodies this shift, merging clarity, weight, and movement into a functional luxury object.
Today, these 1960s Daum coolers are sought-after both as practical barware and as mid-century decorative sculptures.
