Daum commissioned a few famous sculptors, designers, and painters to design limited editions sculptures for their company in 1965. The collaboration between Daum and Dali began in 1968 with his work, Fleur du mal, a title drawn from the collection of poems by the French 19th century poet, Charles Baudelaire. Dali was enthralled by the translucence that can be achieved in pâte de verre.

Early in his career, Dali was inspired by Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic interpretations of dreams and the unconscious. In his Venus de Milo with Drawers, 1936. Dali cut six drawers into a model of the famous nude of Aphrodite. The opening in the sculpture represents an area of the unconscious which only psychoanalysis are able to penetrate. Dali immortalizes old obsessions but also engages in a new dialogue with the modern medium of pâte de verre glass.
At the end of 1967, the first Dali for Daum piece, L’important c’est la rose, was created based on two plastic bottles found on a beach rendered in yellow glass paste seemingly merging to form a vase, on top of which balance two ceramic snails on rose shards.
L’important c’est la rose This Daum Crystal sculpture is historical because it was the first work Salvador designed for Jacques Daum near the end of 1967. It was an immediate expression of the boldness, confidence, and mutual understanding of the partners. It defined Surrealist beauty and was limited to 150 sculptures.
