ABOUT US
MANIFESTO
France in 1945 was in the midst of reconstruction. Christian Dior shortened skirts and created the New Look, and the immense institution Saint-Gobain created "tempered glass", a brand-new process that made glass unbreakable. To support this discovery, which marked a new era in the history of tableware, he created the DURALEX brand.
DURALEX is a "tough cookie": its tumblers wobble on every canteen cart in France, but never break. DURALEX is flexible: it will fit into every household, its products stack up, its ranges follow one another, its decorations follow fashion, its prices are accessible.
Made in France
A new state of mind was born: that of a joyful, simple and easy-going everyday life. A few decades later, these famous glasses have become true benchmarks! They have stood the test of time, passed down from generation to generation, and are still found on every table, whether at the bistro or at home....
Nostalgic cooks have kept their childhood reflex of spotting that little number, the one that has written so many stories and which is none other than the number of the mould used to make 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 true freedom of spirit and movement to every moment of our lives.
BORN FREE AND PIONEERING, DURALEX HAS BEEN THE ALLY OF EVERY TABLE SINCE 1945.
