Crystal Palace Miami 2006 - The Collection

Swarovski, the world’s leading manufacturer of cut crystal, unveiled the 2006 Swarovski Crystal Palace Collection at the Paris Theater, an Art Deco landmark in South Beach, during Art Basel Miami Beach. Since 2002, the Swarovski Crystal Palace collection under Nadja Swarovski’s direction, has demonstrated that the traditional chandelier can be breathtakingly reinvented. Leading designers have merged lighting with cutting edge technology, contemporary design, creativity and art using Swarovski’s entire range of crystals to create results that captivate and thrill. This year, Swarovski Crystal Palace launched its new Couture Collection of limited edition pieces as well as one-off designs (all of which are for sale, price on application). Having sponsored his S/S 2007 fashion show, Swarovski also featured showcase pieces from Hussein Chalayan’s women’s collection. Additionally, this year’s exhibition included the Prêt a Porter Collection of Swarovski Crystal Palace chandeliers: a commercial collection of smaller scale designs taken from previous collections.
