Solidarity Christmas balls
From the breath of the artisan to the light of science
An exceptional object, a bearer of hope
In the workshop of Christophe Genard, a Belgian master glassmaker, each Christmas ball is blown by mouth and shaped by hand using ancestral know-how. Deep red or bright gold, each piece is unique — a reflection of the craftsman's gesture, the warmth of glass and the magic of the holidays.
Supporting research against multiple sclerosis
By buying a ball, you directly support the scientific research of the Charcot Foundation, which finances innovative projects to defeat multiple sclerosis every year. It is a symbolic but meaningful gesture: to transform the beauty of glass into light for science.
Three versions available
In limited edition
Discovery
A swirl of red and white trapped in transparent glass, blown according to the ancestral tradition of the Belgian master glassmaker. Each spiral tells the story of the artisan, spontaneous and unique. This collector's item combines the excellence of local know-how and the commitment to research against multiple sclerosis.
Progress
A texture of precious scales, gilded and patinated by hand, which captures and multiplies light from all angles. Each cell testifies to the meticulous work of the workshop and the mastery of blown glass. A rare and contemplative object, for those who seek artisanal excellence and support science with elegance.
Research box
The perfect contrast between the warmth of the red spirals and the brilliance of the golden scales. Two unique mouth-blown pieces, designed to meet each other and enrich a demanding collection. An exceptional box that combines the beauty of craftsmanship and the light of solidarity.
Pick up by hand
To preserve their integrity and reduce the environmental impact, no postal mail is planned. You can come and collect your ball at the artisan's workshop or in the offices of the Charcot Foundation in Brussels. Detailed instructions will be sent to you after ordering.
