Daniel Swarovski

A World of Beauty

Under the direction of Markus Langes-Swarovski

Crystal encapsulates the mood of the moment, yet it is the material’s timelessness that has made it an essential ingredient in contemporary design.

This book celebrates the incomparable vision and creativity of the Daniel Swarovski collection, named after the founder of Swarovski, the world leader in cut crystal. The fascination of crystal, its lightness and brilliance, its intriguing ambivalence expressed through endlessly unfolding facets are all reflected in the exquisite necklaces, bracelets, rings, handbags, watches and enchanting objects for the home reproduced here in glowing colour.

The Daniel Swarovski collection has become synonymous with the inspirational combination of artistry and luxury. Crystal’s full creative potential could only have been unlocked by Swarovski’s unique expertise and experience in the art of cut crystal, and by its links to the worlds of jewelry, fashion and couture.

For all connoisseurs of crystal jewelry and accessories, this book is an invitation to discover the talent and philosophy of Daniel Swarovski, whose ground-breaking designs today remain true to the spirit of inventiveness that has defined the company for more than a century, as well as to the unique blend of technological innovation, imagination and manufacturing expertise that
has made Swarovski a true producer of poetry.
