Linkasink, the makers of an array of artisan sinks, is now producing unique porcelain sinks encrusted with Swarovski crystals.

The demand for crystal-encrusted products has lead Linkasink to create beautiful sink designs that feature hand-placed Swarovski crystals and Swarovski pearls as key design elements on the exterior of a porcelain sink bowl.

The idea for the sinks came to Kirk Guthrie, founder of Linkasink, after he saw the level of attention his wife, Toby, received for a number of crystal-covered apparel items she created.

The Fragments Cabinet and the Ellipsis Light by Arne Quinze for the Swarovski Crystal Palace show off a spectrum of crystal colours. Both pieces are exquisite sculptures that make full use of the impact of the crystals.

Designed by Anthony David, this contemporary crystal evening bag is surely going to get its deserving share of attention.

Its concrete metal frame comes fully packed with Swarovski crystals AD134 silver & pewter. It can be carried as a clutch handbag or can be worn as a shoulder bag with the detachable shoulder chain. The size of the stone is ss10 and is ultra sturdy.

It comes with a lining of genuine leather and features magnetic kiss top shutting, decorative trim and shielding storage box with integrated padded safety storage pouch.

Dimension: 8 1/2″ (W) x 3 1/4″ (H) x 2 1/2″ Depth)

With cutting-edge design and saturated in 7000 Swarovski crystals, a brand new limited edition version of the award winning OVAL vodka bottle will be released this April in the UK.

Costing a staggering £3,500 (US $6,922), the OVAL Swarovski Crystal bottle will be available to buy in exclusive London night clubs such as Embassy, Dolce, Amika, Maya, Tramp, Maddox, and Chinawhite.

From this month, the stunning bottle will be presented on the back bars of the named clubs, displayed on a new invention The Glorifier, which is a rotating LCD display unit, highlighting the glittering Swarovski Crystals to create a sparkling, avant-garde display.

Once again, Swarovski proves that light and crystal is a match made in heaven, with these dazzling crystal ceiling lamps. Quite simply, light reflected by crystal creates a wondrous play of luminous color.

The Fana is an unusual decorative ring-shaped ceiling lamp, part of the Spots range. The glittering and modern combination of metal and crystal is sure to be a focal point wherever you choose to locate it.

The Crystal Boogie Pyramide is something rather out of the ordinary… its diaphanous pyramid-shaped crystal captures light and reflects it back onto the ceiling in beautiful patterns. This dramatic effect belies the lamp’s uncomplicated form, and breathes life into the precious glass.

Highly visible, more than a thousand Swarovski boutiques and concessions are located in all major fashion capitals around the world. Now, Swarovski opened a new flagship store in Tokyo’s renowned Ginza district on Saturday, March 29, 2008.

It will showcase the entire Daniel Swarovski Couture Line and the jewellery and accessories from the Swarovski fashion collection.

Three exclusive Ginza limited edition pieces will be available at this particular flagship store: the Black Elvis Pendant, the Signature Necklace and the Signature Power Evening Bag.

Modelled on the flagship store, all of the other Swarovski boutiques will be refurbished from 2008 according to the new architectural concept. These new design concepts have resulted from the collaboration between Swarovski and the famous Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka.

Inside the Ginza boutique the “Crystal Forest” comes to life. All of the walls are textured with reflective white relief prisms of various lengths. These faceted, multi-layered elements create visual depth and exude an internal rhythm. For this one-of-a-kind boutique, named Swarovski Ginza, the conventions of design are challenged by bringing the “inside to the outside”. An experience to embrace when in Tokyo!
