1895
Daniel Swarovski inventează o mașină capabilă să taie cristale cu o precizie nemaiîntâlnită până atunci.
1900
Daniel zeichnet eine Reihe von Diagrammen - Artikel 1 bis Artikel 6 -, die einen Lexikon der Kristallschliffe definieren. Daniel bringt dieses Lexikon nach Wattens in Österreich, dem Herkunftsland von Swarovski, und sie werden die ersten Kristalle, die in Produktion gehen. Artikel 7 bis Artikel 12 bilden sein zweites Lexikon der originalen Kristallschliffe.
Artikel 1-6 und Artikel 7-12.
1950s
Swarovski collaborates with couturiers, who are inspired by the creative possibilities of its ever-evolving materials. After a trip to see the Northern Lights, Daniel creates a coating that emulates the changing colors of the natural phenomenon. Christian Dior was the first designer to discover this effect and used it in one of his last collections in 1957.
1970s
A factory technician in Wattens glues spare chandelier parts together to create a crystallized mouse, which becomes the first Swarovski figurine. Initially, it is gifted to 1000 Swarovski employees, but quickly becomes so popular that it goes on sale at the XII Winter Olympic Games in Innsbruck in 1976. Its popularity leads to a new line of nature-inspired figurines.
1980
Swarovski begins a long-lasting relationship with the Palace of Versailles, recreating the monumental crystal chandelier to illuminate the Sun King’s Chamber. The piece has a distinctly 17th century aesthetic - it features innovative crystal LED candles, which flawlessly replicate a traditional flame, lending a unique ambience to the royal apartments.
1989
In 1989, Swarovski launches a couture range called the Daniel Swarovski Paris collection, named after its founder. The elaborate collection incorporates crystals and has only limited pieces available.
1995
Swarovski Crystal Worlds, Kristallwelten, opens in Wattens, Austria, to mark the brand’s centennial anniversary. Multimedia artist André Heller designed a unique and magical place that attracts millions of visitors from across the globe. Crystals are celebrated in all their transformative facets and every year, multiple collaborations with artists, particularly in the Chamber of Wonder, continue to push the boundaries of creativity.
The Giant
André Heller’s thematic centerpiece for Swarovski Crystal Worlds was the shape of the Giant, and he developed the story of a Giant who set out to experience the crystal world and all of its treasures and wonders.
2004
Bringing a sprinkle of shimmer to the holiday season, Swarovski crowns the iconic Rockefeller Center Christmas tree for the first time. Heralding the start of a yearly tradition, the 2004 Swarovski star measures three meters in height and shines with 25,000 brilliant white crystals. A magical addition to the New York City skyline.
2007
A 79-a ediție a Premiilor Oscar arată publicului adevăratul sens al strălucirii. Pentru prima dată, o cortină strălucitoare de cristal formează fundalul pentru vedetele de la Hollywood. Cortina de Cristal Swarovski măsoară 10 metri în înălțime, cântărește peste o tonă și este compusă din 50.000 de cristale individuale.
2013
Gabriel Chandelier
Title:
Swarovski bundelt de krachten met Ronan en Erwan Bouroullec om de Gabriel Chandelier te creëren, een permanent kunstwerk dat de hoofdingang van het Paleis van Versailles verlicht. Meer dan 12 meter hoog en met 800 Swarovski-kristallen die innovatief worden verlicht met heldere LED's, is dit eigentijdse maar majestueuze kunstwerk zowel een technisch hoogstandje als een blijvend eerbetoon aan de kristallen kroonluchters die historisch de ceremoniële zalen van het Paleis sierden.
