Crystal Clear

This is an interesting article I had stumbled upon on the internet. This is an exhibition that relates directly to crystals, Swarovski to be exact. It is the Crystal Palace space located in Milan, Italy. This is the "Osmosis" installation that was to reflect the diamond cut or chaton of crystals. The idea was to direct attention away for the crystal but to direct it to how the crystal was cut with precision. What forms were created from this cut? The design consists of these evident chaton forms throughout the space, from a custom 80 foot long carpet, to wire frame structures. The space also consists of these contrasting giant diamond shaped marble sculptures that are strewn across the floor.

"Arik has moved Swarovski to an arena of using crystal as a sculptural ingredient," says company head Nadja Swarovski. "He understands that crystal is more than something which sparkles; it is a valuable material which is relevant to the fields of lighting, of furniture and art."
