Ideal for residential and hospitality environs alike, SWAROVSKI LIGHTING CENTERPIECES captures and communicates a broad spectrum of styles and desires, exemplifying individual designer inspiration that speaks the authentic SWAROVSKI design language. Presented to the trade will be six brilliantly designed product families.

On exhibit will be Todd Bracher's minimalist 'Strandelier' alongside the cunningly constructed, yet elusive, 'Deconstruct'. The crystalline purity of nature is laid bare in 'Crystalline Icicles' by S. Russell Groves, while Andre Kikoski's 'ReveaLED' stuns with its otherworldly glow. Stephen Burks's 'Inside/Out' achieves a reductive elegance, as the expressionist 'Crystal Empire' surprises with its reinterpretation of the classic chandelier, harnessing crystal with leather strapping.

Met with acclaim in the European retail and North American hospitality custom-contract markets, SWAROVSKI is pleased to introduce this premiere lighting collection to the North American retail lighting community.

Enlivened by the tradition of the classic, the modernity of SWAROVSKI LIGHTING CENTERPIECES signifies a new generation of exceptional lighting objects. Unusual luminaires fashioned by renowned designers, SWAROVSKI LIGHTING CENTERPIECES presents an abundance of breakthrough designs and custom possibilities.

Also new for 2011 is the uniting of two world-class brands – SWAROVSKI and SCHONBEK® – in one stunning showroom at the Dallas Market Center, Suite 4926. Designed in alliance with renowned tvsdesign, the showroom supports each brand's distinctive identity while further conveying SCHONBEK's position as a member of the Swarovski Company. Illuminating the 9,000-square-foot space will be a vast composition of premium lighting product lines by SWAROVSKI and SCHONBEK, creating a glittering setting unlike any other.

SWAROVSKI – the world leader in high-quality, precision-cut crystal, and SCHONBEK, the leading worldwide crystal lighting manufacturer, have consolidated their stance as choice partners for contemporary, classic and custom-designed crystal lighting, providing sparkling inspiration for discerning customers around the globe.
