Les moments clés de Swarovski

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 conçoit une première série de diagrammes - Article 1 à 6 - qui établit un lexique des tailles de cristal. Il apporte ce répertoire à Wattens en Autriche, terre natale de Swarovski, donnant naissance aux premiers cristaux de la production. Les Articles 7 à 12 composent son second lexique de tailles originales.

Articles 1 à 6, et Articles 7 à 12.

1950年代

Swarovski 與高級訂製服設計師合作，這些設計師受到其不斷演進的材質所激發的無限創意。Daniel 在一次北極光之旅後，創造了一種能模仿這種自然現象變幻色彩的塗層。Christian Dior 是首位發現這種視覺效果的設計師，並於 1957 年在他的最後一個系列產品中運用。

1970年代

瓦騰斯（Wattens）的一位工廠技師把備用吊燈零件黏合起來，打造出一隻水晶老鼠，這也成為了第一件 Swarovski 雕塑作品。一開始被用於贈送給 1000 名 Swarovski 員工，但很快便廣受歡迎，於 1976 年在因斯布魯克第十二屆冬季奧運會上公開發售。其受歡迎程度，催生了一系列以自然為靈感的全新雕塑作品。

1980

Swarovski 與凡爾賽宮展開了長期的合作關係，重新製作了宏偉的水晶吊燈，以照亮太陽王的房間。這件作品擁有鮮明的 17 世紀美學，其特色在於創新的水晶 LED 蠟燭，完美重現了傳統燭火，為皇家寓所營造出獨特的氛圍。

1989

Swarovski 在 1989 年推出了以其創辦人命名的 Daniel Swarovski Paris 高級訂製系列。這個精緻系列產品融入了水晶元素，並僅限量發售。

1995

Swarovski 水晶世界 Kristallwelten 在奧地利瓦騰斯開幕，紀念品牌百週年。多媒體藝術家 André Heller 設計了一個獨特且充滿魔力的地方，每年吸引數百萬名世界各地的訪客。é水晶以其千變萬化的面貌備受推崇，每年與藝術家們的眾多合作，尤其是在 Chamber of Wonder 中，持續拓展創意的無限可能。

巨人

André Heller 為 Swarovski 水晶世界創作的中心主題為巨人的形象，他構思了一段巨人啟程探索水晶世界所有寶藏與奇蹟的故事。

2004

Swarovski 首次為標誌性的洛克斐勒中心聖誕樹添上璀璨光芒，為佳節帶來閃爍的氣氛。2004 年的 Swarovski 星星高三公尺，鑲嵌 25,000 顆璀璨的白色水晶，預示著年度傳統的開始。為紐約市的天際線增添了魔幻氣息。

2007

The 79th Academy Awards shows the audience the true meaning of brilliance. For the first time, a sparkling crystal curtain forms the backdrop for the Hollywood stars. The Swarovski Crystal Curtain measures 10 meters in height, weighs over a ton, and consists of 50,000 individual crystals.

2013

Gabriel Chandelier

Swarovski joins forces with Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec to create the Gabriel Chandelier, a permanent artwork illuminating the main entrance at the Palace of Versailles. Over 12 meters high and incorporating 800 Swarovski crystals innovatively lit with luminous LEDs, this contemporary yet majestic piece is both a technical feat and an enduring tribute to the crystallized chandeliers that historically adorned the Palace’s ceremonial rooms.
