NATURAL SYMBIOSIS SWAROVSKI LIGHTING
CRYSTAL + LIGHT:
Swarovski introduced their ornate ground crystal elements for use by designers and manufacturers of chandeliers and lighting fixtures in 1965. In 2011, Swarovski formally established Swarovski Lighting, Ltd., which includes two distinct premium consumer lighting brands; Swarovski, with its contemporary aesthetic, and Schonbek, with its class
ic designs. Together, Swarovski and Schonbek have been granted over 200 design patents and share more than 250 years of crystal and lighting history. The Swarovski brand is renowned for its cutting-edge design language that combines crystal and light to produce imaginative light forms, transforming architectural spaces into iconic landmarks of sparkling wonder. Swarovski unveiled its first premium lighting collection in 2011 at Euroluce, Europe’s leading design show in Milan. Swarovski offers premium decorative lighting that illuminates spaces with an emotional aura of inspiration and art. Cutting crystal to perfection is coded in the DNA of Swarovski, and their contemporary and fresh design language unites this expertise in cut crystal with state-of- the-art lighting technology and inspiration from some of the most renowned designers of today. Every lighting element is the result of innovative engineering and skillful handiwork. This unmistakable quality makes a world of difference and is reflected in each Swarovski illumination. Since 1870, Schonbek has been synonymous with authentic handcrafted crystal chandeliers of the highest heirloom quality. Each creation is a radiant masterpiece of elegance and opulence, designed to illuminate generations to come. True to the company’s heritage of handcraftsmanship, each premium Schonbek chandelier is made-to-order, shining with a special character in more than 10,000 combinations of finishes, crystal types, and styles. The result is lighting of exceptional grandeur that is appreciated by traditionalists and modernists alike. For tailored solutions, Schonbek offers a diverse range of custom capabilities, making the brand an ideal partner for the most complex custom lighting projects. Schonbek is manufactured exclusively at its global headquarters in Plattsburgh, NY, U.S.A., drawing inspiration from its rich European heritage and longstanding tradition of chandelier making. Schonbek is a member of the Swarovski Group.
