Zoo

A fantastical reinterpretation of the traditional crystal menagerie, Baccarat ZOO transforms decorative art into a vivid parade of personality, play, and function. Conceived by Jaime Hayon in 2011, this whimsical bestiary fuses the brilliance of cut crystal with the smooth tactility of tinted porcelain—matte on the outside, glossy within—to give life to three expressive animals: a monkey, a duck, and a bear. Part objet d’art, part functional receptacle, each creature balances elegance with joy, inviting us into a world where fantasy meets form with a wink.

From the diamond-patterned, pendant-eyed monkey that radiates mischievous wisdom, to the clover-engraved duck rising from its nest, and the honey-loving bear with its stocky, protective posture—every piece is a celebration of craftsmanship and imagination. With finishes in clear, coral, mint, and honey-toned crystal, mounted on playful ceramic bases, Baccarat ZOO is a collection that blurs the lines between toy and treasure, storytelling and sculpture. Tamed, trained, and exalted, these animals revive the spirit of the carnival of creatures with refined charm and poetic mischief.
