Swarovski Crystallized

12/09

In December it was the White Crystal Christmas at colette, in the wonderful world of Swarovski: We discovered the most beautiful pieces of Swarovski Crystal Palace (Eternal by Tokujin Yoshioka, Caillou from the Bouroullec brothers, Blossom by Tord Boontje...) including Osmosis by Arik Levy whose book (Thames & Hudson) was at colette.

Atelier Swarovski was of course present, with the first collection of jewelry designed by architect Zaha Hadid. Futuristic pieces as opposed to archival pieces of the house, which will also be in exhibition. And calling to mind the multiple facets of crystal, one can also find the costumes for the Viktor & Rolf opera, the new D:Light watch in pink gold, Daniel Swarovski accessories and figurines, such as the beautiful snowflake by Ingo Maurer (whose profits go to Unicef).

And that’s not all! colette had various objects crystallized to give them a new dimension: a Kuntzel+Deygas Diptyque, Medicom Toy Be@rbricks, a pair of Adidas Wings by Jeremy Scott, a Chocolate Street Machine skateboard, a Quiksilver surfboard and a bottle cork.
