At the Lyon Festival of Lights in 2010 on the Theatre of Celestins, 1024 Architecture pulled off an incredible display with a system of visual distortions on voice command.
At first glance its an average historical building, but its about to undergo a 21st century overhaul of sound and light using 3D mapping. Perspective Lyrique interprets public participation and turns it into large scale projected images.
The truly creative studio kept a blog through the process to show the making of.
Swarovski booth - Euroluce 2011
Beauty is timeless and for me anything shiny is forever!
I was super excited to see the Swarovski booth at Milan Design Week. Swarovski always goes over and above at shows to exhibit top notch products that will have you dreaming. Walking through the booth for me was like daydreaming in a candy shop. Each fixture was unique and stunning with the sole purpose of catching the light off each and every individual crystal. What makes the best backdrop to a Swarovski Chandelier? most certainly a jewel studded wallcovering like the new Swarovski Elements wallpaper. This is luxury design….
Swarovski Elements Euroluce 2011
The new collection was directed by the vision of company founder Daniel Swarovski who wished to create beauty and enrich the world of fashion through crystal. Be it jewelry, accessories, architecture or haute couture this company has taken sparkle from cinema to catwalk. Renowned wallpaper designer Karen Beauchamp has created this line rich in feathers, stripes, crackle, velvet, diamonds and more. Eleven creations were designed using rich colors like royal blue, eggplant and burgundy intertwined with classic designs like damask, paisley and stripes, all topped off with a dash of Swarovski Elements.
CREATE A SPACE WITH THE BEAUTY OF CRYSTAL
Here are a few of my favorite pieces from the new collection:
Swarovski Elements Wallcovering - Diamond Trellis
The harlequin argyle patterned paper is a patchwork of crystals, metallic effects and a modern expression of sophistication through prosaic geometry of diamonds. Classy, long lasting and gender neutral.
Swarovski Elements Wallcovering - Plume
Plume is a whimsical display of history, romance, nobility and wisdom. It is delicate and bold to make an expressive statement in a space.
Swarovski Elements Wallcovering - Ruffle Silk Jaspe
Ruffle Silk Jaspe is a pure pattern with expressionist luster and surprising elements of crystal.
Swarovski Elements Wallcovering - Versailles
Versailles is my favorite of the collection. A simple and strong pattern ideal for hotels, living rooms, powder rooms and boutiques. It is an opulent pattern in the verre eglomise style of baroque glass art adorned in crystal rocks.
BEAUTY IS LIKE AN EMPTY CHAMBER: ONCE DISCOVERED, IT IS TO THE ARTIST BOTH INSPIRATION AND CANVAS
So many amazing options! Let me know what you think.
