We will describe the LAUE project, supported by Italian Space Agency, whose aim is to demonstrate capability build a focusing optics in hard X-/soft gamma-ray domain (80{600 keV). To show lens feasibility, assembling of Laue petal prototype with 20 m focal length ongoing. Indeed, feasibility study, within has demonstrated that made petals feasible. Our goal 80-600 keV energy band. In addition detailed description new LARIX facility, which being assembled, we report results project obtained so far.
