Lalique, the historic French crystal maison, celebrated its collaboration with architect and interior designer Irma Orenstein, Mezuzah by Irma, with an intimate cocktail reception at its New York City flagship. Born from a shared appreciation for art, craftsmanship, and cultural heritage, the collection reinterprets the traditional mezuzah through Lalique's signature crystal artistry, bringing contemporary expression to an object deeply rooted in faith and tradition.

Notable attendees included Irma Orenstein, Pierre-Antoine Bollet, Ayelet Shaked, Judy Nir Mozes, Julia Sagoskin, Ofer Petersburg, Dolly Meckler, Galit Levy, Murat Mutlu, and Jay Domb.

Orenstein and Lalique North America General Manager Pierre-Antoine Bollet welcomed guests to Lalique's Maison d'Artiste for an evening of conversation and celebration. Guests had the opportunity to discover the collection firsthand and hear from Orenstein about the inspiration behind its sculptural forms and her personal connection to the mezuzah as a symbol of home. Throughout the evening, fashion illustrator Margarita Kurtova created live portraits of guests, presented as personalized keepsake postcards featuring original sketches of the collection on the reverse.
