도로에 빛을 비추다
Title:
소개합니다, 스와로브스키 크리스털 새로운 BMW i7 크리스털 헤드라이트 아이코닉 글로우. 앞서 본 적 없던 조명 효과를 낼 수 있도록 제작된 이 제품은 최고의 프리미엄 자동차 디스플레이를 선사합니다.
“지금까지 우리는 도로에서 똑같은 라이트 스트립만 만나왔습니다. 크리스털 헤드라이트가 이제 새로운 역사를 써내려 갑니다. 눈부시고 생동감 넘치는 빛의 이미지는 우리가 익히 보아 온 정확한 라이트 그래픽과는 완전히 다른 세상을 펼칠 것입니다. 유리는 정밀한 소재입니다. 하지만 플라스틱보다 훨씬 더 정밀하게 가공할 수 있는 소재이죠.”

A CUT ABOVE
Precision Redefined
A mastery of crystal craftsmanship and a heart of innovation have been a part of Swarovski’s DNA since it’s founding in 1895. This unparalleled drive to explore and create has brought the seemingly impossible to life once again – this time in partnership with BMW in the ultimate expression of luxury.
FINER THINGS
Matters of Perfection
A partnership as unique as this one provided new creative challenges for BMW engineers and Swarovski product developers alike. For both teams, the goal was to create a seamless integration of expertise for the most luminous result: headlights that stand alone as singular crystal wonders.
SHINE ON
A Closer Look at Crystal
The face of the new BMW i7 is defined by its kidney-shaped contouring and a two-part headlight system. The crystals within this system – two pairs per side – are backed by individually controlled LED light panels that create an irregular, seemingly living glow. In the daytime, they form the running and indicator lights with high and low beams for night discreetly nestled in the lower area.
LUXURY FACETS
A Driving Force of Luxury
Beyond elaborate workmanship, the design of the BMW i7 Iconic Glow Headlights is an experience of pure luxury, offering a light show from the moment a driver approaches their car.
“This collaboration with BMW, then,
was more about mastery of crystal
cutting and an alignment of passion
between two world-renowned
brands.”
Peter Widmann, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Swarovski
