Beta by Eyal Burstein for Swarovski Crystal Palace

Vinci Gin-Nen - Thursday, July 26, 2012
 
Swarovski's Crystal Palace program - in which contemporary designers cultivate new ideas using Swarovski crystals - continues to reinvent the ornate crystals and promote the luxury brand. Now in its 10th year, Berlin designer Eyal Burstein has a turn at the reigns with the iconic brand, with a recently commissioned series of chairs inspired by the shape of Swarovski's classic Chaton-cut crystals. Burstein created the chairs with plexiglass panels that shimmer like glass, encasing a crystal-shaped light fixture within a polished metal frame.
