Swarovski Crystal Palace at The Salone del Mobile Milan 2006

Since 2002, the Swarovski Crystal Palace collections have aimed to stretch the imagination, demonstrating that the notion of a traditional chandelier can be beautifully reinvented. Whether designers choose to marry cutting edge technology with contemporary design or use nature as their main source of inspiration, the results have always thrilled and captivated, with each designer breathing new life into the traditional chandelier aesthetic. Now in its fifth year, Swarovski Crystal Palace has continued to merge lighting, art and design with technology and creativity, using Swarovski’s entire range of crystal components.

This year, Swarovski introduced creations by Basso & Brooke, Jurgen Bey, Laurene & Constantin Boym, Hussein Chalayan, Naoto Fukasawa, Michael Gabellini, Ineke Hans, Simon Heijdens, Chris Levine, Ross Lovegrove, and Gaetano Pesce, and featured commercial chandelier versions from designers Michael Anastassiades, Georg Baldele, Tord Boontje and Tom Dixon.
