A blida is a small glass commonly used for drinking champagne. Manufactured in Reims, it was originally intended for export to Blida, a city in northern Algeria, where it was used to serve mint tea. However, the locals soon recognized the benefits of this compact and durable glass for enjoying champagne and began using it for that purpose as well.

Blida is an association founded and directed by artists, with this small piece of glassware as its muse. It aims to promote contemporary art and foster direct connections between artists and collectors around the world. Its venues serve as global meeting points that embrace chance, movement, and unexpected encounters.
