During your visit, you will have the chance to see three production processes:
- Crystal Prototyping: new cuts and shapes are developed quickly and flexibly. Hand Samples of home prototypes are created here as well.
- Application Prototyping: the final consumer products are made here, using a variety of crystal application techniques on all kinds of surfaces. This allows us to crystallize any product, from evening dresses and handbags to shoes and sunglasses, so our clients can embellish their designs with signature Swarovski radiance.
- Special Projects: crystal art and individual lighting installations are made here - the more complex the better. These are designed from scratch in collaboration with customers and creatives, bringing their most extravagant ideas to light.
