Daniel Libeskind, Ron Arad and More Lend Their Touch to Atelier Swarovski’s First Home Collection

These are not your typical crystals for home.

by IMRAN JALAL  /   June 21, 2016

For the past nine years, Atelier Swarovski has been the edgier sister of the crystal brand, with collaborations with designers from the world of fashion, architecture and product design. Notable names from former tie-ups include Viktor & Rolf and Jean Paul Gaultier.

For Fall/Winter ’16, there’s something even more happening. For the first time, it is venturing into home decor. The names it has roped in to create its debut pieces are just as exciting as those for the jewellery designs.

No word has been firmed yet as to where the Atelier Swarovski Home collection will be stocked in Singapore, but the brand is planning to launch the pieces somewhere in November. Here we round up the creative names and outfits that are behind these fashionable crystal home wares.
