stephen burks: inside out for swarovski




new york-based industrial designer stephen burks of readymade projects' collaboration with swarovski entitled 'inside out'
are chandeliers using crystals in a functional manner instead of decoration. the large basic primary shapes are lit
from the inside with LEDs creating a prismatic effect of refracted light. this play on the traditional roles of crystal
and chandeliers is a new direction for swarovski. presented for the first time at euroluce 2011 in milan, the whole
series of the lighting centerpieces collection from swarovski was created from six different designers.
