Swarovski
Experience design for the new European Crystal Studio store concept that places the customer at the centre of the experience: encouraging trial, creativity and social interaction.

Brief
How do we reconnect today’s and tomorrow’s customers with Swarovski‘s powerful DNA and illuminating, innovative products to fuel the brand’s future legacy?
Concept
Infused with the Swarovski DNA of craftsmanship, innovation and the magic of light, the Crystal Studio places the customer and their unique needs at the heart of the experience, encouraging their trial, creativity, and spontaneity.

The Crystal Studio breaks static jewelry retail standards by offering a highly interactive and social experience.

First, it captures the customer’s imagination, then it reveals the symbology and meaning behind the products and, finally, reaches its pinnacle at the iconic Swarovski Sparkle Bar where every customer can create and style their unique sparkle.
