Meisterhafte Handwerkskunst von Swarovski
หัวข้อ:Ein glanzvolles Tier
หัวข้อ:Manche glauben, die Streifen helfen den Zebras, unter der heißen afrikanischen Sonne kühl zu bleiben, während neuere Forschungen darauf hindeuten, dass die Muster auch zur Insektenabwehr dienen und Fliegen irreführen können, die versuchen, auf dem Fell des Zebras zu landen.
Andere behaupten, die schwarzen und weißen Streifen erzeugen in der Bewegung einen glänzend-blendenden Effekt, der die Fressfeinde des Zebras verwirrt – von denen viele farbenblind sind. Dies kann helfen, die Geschwindigkeit oder Laufrichtung des Tiers zu verschleiern, und dient in großen Gruppen zur Tarnung. Durch diesen wahrlich glanzvollen Auftritt sind Zebras das perfekte Geschöpf für eine Neuinterpretation aus Swarovski Kristall. Genau wie die Pferdeart aus der afrikanischen Savanne bezaubert auch die SCS-Jahresedition 2021, das Zebra Amai, mit einem faszinierenden glanzvollen Effekt.
Sieben Schritte zur Perfektion
หัวข้อย่อย:Der innovative Designer Heinz Tabertshofer nahm die Herausforderung an, die einzigartige gestreifte Fellzeichnung des Zebras in Swarovski Kristall zu übersetzen. Und dies ist das Verfahren, mit dem er eine der auffälligsten Schöpfungen von Mutter Natur für Swarovski neu erschuf:
Step 1: Research and sketches
Heinz began by researching the animal and its natural habitat before visiting the Evelyn Haim-Swarovski equine farm – and its two zebra residents. This gave Heinz the opportunity to study the animals a little closer and in real life. In the end, the SCS Zebra Amai is largely based on one of the local zebras called Helmut.
Step 2: Rough sculptural modeling
Using digital computer modeling, the sketches were converted into a three-dimensional representation. At this stage, different stances and expressions could be experimented with until the perfect pose was found.
Step 3: Design model
Once a final design was settled on, designer Heinz Tabertshofer and the product developer worked together to optimize the angles of the facets, to ensure the masterpiece would sparkle at its best. When they were satisfied, the Zebra Amai boasted 457 facets and a resin replica could be produced.
Step 4: Handmade prototype
The SCS Annual Edition 2021 Zebra Amai finally sparkled into life as a hand-cut and polished prototype. A special coating was used to help define her stripes, giving Zebra Amai a unique Silver Night and Golden Shine coat.
Step 5: Production of crystal parts
Once the prototype had been perfected, production could begin. Precise tooling individually cut each of the constituent parts of the model.
Step 6: Gluing and assembly
Each component was meticulously glued together by hand, and a final polish was all that was needed to bring the Zebra Amai to life.
Step 7: Quality control
Each crystal creation was thoroughly examined by a team of experts, who ensured that all colors looked as they should and that all facets were flawless and radiant. Once it had passed this final scrutiny, it was ready to fill the world with joy and brilliance!
