A brilliant master glass-maker, in 1907 he becomes the partner of the perfumer Francois Coty for the creation of his flacons.

The success of their collaboration led to new developments with the famous perfumers of the 1920's and 1930's: Roger & Gallet, Houbigant, Molyneux, d'Orsay, Molinard, Worth...

Rene Lalique remained faithful to the philosophy of the Art Nouveau movement, aiming to balance the needs of Art and Industry.

It is also during this period that the name of Rene Lalique is associated to the automobile industry. To decorate the radiator stoppers of luxurious cars such as Citroen, Delage, Bentley, Rolls Royce... everything was permitted, even the use of glass. He thus created 7 designs of car mascots. It was in 1925 that Andre Citroen ordered from the master glass-maker a radiator stopper for the launch of his famous 5 CV model. For this occasion, Rene Lalique created a mascot representing the superposed silhouettes of 5 rearing horses.
