Atelier Swarovski’s Debut Collection of Luxury Accessories.

Swarovski launched Atelier Swarovski Home, a new luxury home accessories brand during the Salone del Mobile 2016  in Milan. The brand showcases its debut collections, created in collaboration with some of the world’s most respected designers, as well as emerging international talents. Collaborating designers include Aldo Bakker, Daniel Libeskind, Fredrikson Stallard, Kim Thomé, Raw Edges, Ron Arad, Tomás Alonso, Tord Boontje and the late Zaha Hadid.

The inaugural collection includes centrepieces and home accessories created from mixed materials such as marble, metals and resins together with crystal, and makes full use of new technologies developed by Swarovski’s experts, including crystal printing, a permanent form of laser-jet print on crystal, and the revolutionary Wave Cut technique, which combines cutting-edge computer technology with mechanical engineering to cut curved forms in crystal. Unique to Swarovski, this has never before been achieved in crystal cutting.

The new collection is a vivid reminder of the infinite creative possibilities of crystal in design, from the unmistakable aesthetic signatures of Daniel Libeskind, whose chess set pieces come in a mix of materials such as Wave Cut crystal, silver, concrete, marble, resin and 5-axis machined anodised aluminium; Ron Arad, who maximises the pure brilliance of stand-alone crystal; and Aldo Bakker and his minimalist crystal and marble vases, to the captivating new ideas of Kim Thomé and Raw Edges.

The visitor is invited on a journey through the world of Atelier Swarovski Home via a series of mirror installations and reflective materials which enhance the original beauty of the rooms, while creating a subtle backdrop for the objects.
