Designer
Maxime d’Angeac
French architect and designer with a passion for the Italian Renaissance, Art Deco, and the collection of rare books, Maxime d’Angeac is known for his exceptional attention to detail and his ability to sensitively combine historical references with contemporary design.
Throughout his career, he’s collaborated with prestigious maisons including Hermès and Daum. In recent years, he’s devoted himself to what he describes as one of the greatest projects of his career: reinterpreting the legendary Orient Express train and creating its maritime counterpart – a new generation of luxury sailing yachts.
Maxime d’Angeac shares the values that have defined Orient Express from the beginning: exceptional craftsmanship, noble materials, precision, and attention to every detail. Here, his approach naturally meets Moser’s philosophy.

Design and production
Levitation
For five years, Maxime d’Angeac and Moser’s master craftspeople worked to translate his vision into handcrafted crystal. Maxime returned to the glassworks repeatedly as they developed and refined the designs together. Many of his sketches pushed the limits of what could be made by hand. The result is a work of design and a testament to the skill of Moser’s glassmakers and cutters, who brought his vision to life.
Production begins at the furnace, where the glassmakers blow molten glass into handmade wooden moulds. Each piece then moves to the glass-cutting workshop, where the collection’s distinctive geometry takes shape. The decorative grooves encircling the body of each glass require a specially made cutting wheel and precise control over every cut.
The stem undergoes an equally demanding transformation. By gradually removing material from a substantial prismatic blank, the cutters create a slender form that lends the glass its lightness and makes it comfortable to hold. They also cut the facets featuring polished surfaces whose edges catch and refract the light, bringing the geometric pattern into focus.
