Discover the timeline of Swarovski, from the birth of Austrian House through key milestones, and discover the House’s rich heritage across the world’s of fashion, jewelry and pop culture.

1895
Daniel Swarovski invents a machine that is capable of cutting crystals with a precision that has never before been possible.
1900
Daniel draws a sequence of diagrams - Article 1 to Article 6 - that come to define a lexicon of crystal cuts. Daniel takes this lexicon to Wattens in Austria, Swarovski’s country of origin, and they become the first crystals put into production. Article 7 to Article 12 make up his second lexicon of original crystal cuts.
Article 1-6, and Article 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 크리스털 월드(Kristallwelten)가 브랜드 100주년을 기념하며 오스트리아 와튼스에 문을 열었습니다. 멀티미디어 아티스트 André헬러는 전 세계 수백만 명의 방문객을 매료시키는 독특하고 마법 같은 장소를 디자인했습니다. 크리스털은 그 변화무쌍한 모든 면에서 찬사를 받고 있으며, 매년 여러 아티스트들과의 협업, 특히 챔버 오브 원더(Chamber of Wonder)에서의 협업을 통해 창의력의 한계를 뛰어넘고 있습니다.

자이언트

Swarovski Crystal Worlds를 위해 Andr Heller가 구상한 테마 중심 조형물은 ‘자이언트’의 형상이었으며, 그는 크리스털 세계의 모든 보물과 경이로움을 경험하기 위해 길을 떠난 거인의 이야기를 만들어냈습니다.

2004년

Swarovski가 록펠러 센터 크리스마스 트리에 처음으로 반짝이는 광채를 더하며 연말 시즌의 시작을 알립니다. 매년 이어지는 전통의 시작을 알리는 2004년 Swarovski 스타는 높이 3미터에 달하며 25,000개의 눈부신 화이트 크리스털로 빛납니다. 뉴욕의 스카이라인을 더욱 환상적으로 만들어줄 마법같은 존재.

2007년

제79회 아카데미 시상식은 관객들에게 진정한 광채의 의미를 선사했습니다. 처음으로 눈부신 크리스털 커튼이 할리우드 스타들을 위한 배경으로 펼쳐집니다. Swarovski 크리스털 커튼은 높이 10미터, 무게 1톤 이상이며 5만 개의 크리스털로 이루어져 있습니다.

Swarovski는 로낭 & 에르완 부훌렉 형제와 협력하여 베르사유 궁전 정문을 밝히는 영구 설치 예술 작품인 가브리엘 샹들리에를 제작했습니다. 12미터가 넘는 높이에 800개의 Swarovski 크리스털이 사용되었으며, 혁신적인 LED 조명으로 눈부시게 빛나는 이 현대적이면서도 장엄한 작품은 놀라운 기술력의 결정체이자 과거 궁궐 의례실을 장식했던 크리스털 샹들리에에 대한 오마주입니다.
