Creative Service Center

The Creative Service Center goes Global

Swarovski’s resoundingly successful Creative Service Center concept is being taken onto an international level, with centers now open in Paris, New York, Milan, London, Dubai and Sao Paolo.

In addition to this CRYSTALLIZED™ also offers Trend and Application Centers in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai. The unrivalled facilities, advice and support offered by CRYSTALLIZED™ - Swarovski Elements is available to customers around the world.

At the Creative Service Centers, designers from the well-established to the avantgarde and experimental, look through CRYSTALLIZED™ entire range of Crystal Elements, including jewellery stones, transfers, trimmings, textile and chandelier components. They can discuss in detail their individual creative and technical needs, while personal, one-to-one expert advice is available at all times to help them find just the right stones, colours, shapes and textures to bring their ideas and visions to life. A special Application Support Center concentrates primarily on providing all Swarovski customers with technical assistance and advice on the correct processes for working with CRYSTALLIZED™ - Swarovski Elements.

At the same time, customers are offered a glimpse at the limited edition, of 2002 books, the Swarovski  " Crystal Premium". Once known as the Trendbook, Swarovski has decided to design a book which reflects the global behavior of society and fashion, compiled in conjunction with Paris fashion forecasting house Promostyl.

The Crystal Premium will be exclusively distributed to journalists, opinion leaders, exclusive design houses and designers, along with influential customers. The recipient of the Crystal Premium will be able to receive an exclusive look at the various topics, trend related, which will have an influential impact on the various sectors and segments within the market. This new concept allows Swarovski to show our products in a new and innovative way placing more emphasis on fashion and design. We will also be able to provide more advanced information to the market and our customers. The Crystal Premium from Swarovski offers a valuable source of inspiration for creative design ideas. Information advantage and a variety of sources.

Creative Service Center London

The Communications and Creative Service Center London, architecturally designed by MMM, functions as a communications and sales platform.

We would like to help you reach the height of your artistic expression. At the Creative Service Center you can discover our innovative products and be inspired by our showcase displays, which are constantly changing.

There are touring exhibitions both from Creative Service Centers worldwide and from other special projects.

Our multifaceted products, with their endless variety of application, are available for you to view, whether for fashion, design, jewelry, body art, lighting, or interior. We have several different work areas, including exhibition space, an application center, and a meeting and conference room. We invite you to make an appointment to visit us and to be inspired.

The idea of having a Creative Service Center in London is to meet established and new designers. We also meet existing and potential manufacturers who have a UK design team. London is the center of fashion, and we have more and more designers wanting to use CRYSTALLIZED™ - Swarovski Elements.

It's amazing to see designers mixing together all sorts of Crystal Elements, transforming items intended for chandeliers or textiles into finished pieces of jewelry. It is a beautiful, creative environment where designers come to seek inspiration and feel that ‘creative vibe’.

If the Creative Service Center is considered only as a showcase to enlighten its visitors, then it is a success. However, it’s much more than that. What it has come to be is the embodiment of endless possibilities with crystals.

Creative Service Center Paris

The Paris Creative Service Center reopened in 2006.

Covering 100 m², the Creative Service Center has three main areas:

1. A private showroom that can be completely closed with sliding doors, allowing total privacy for meetings with clients and designers. The showroom has all the latest technical equipment such as a beamer, video, and hi-fi system, as well as an automatic screen for presentation purposes.
The entire range of CRYSTALLIZED™ - Swarovski Elements, is regularly updated in the different product displays or cabinets contained in this area.
2. A cash & carry counter where the entire crystal stone collection is displayed so that clients, designers, and journalists can view the different articles, shapes, sizes, and colors included in the range. Visitor flow to the counter is extremely high, averaging 20 clients per day, with between 4 and 6 orders placed.
3. A large, airy reception area with product displays or cabinets containing samples of the full collections. The textile range of transfers, trimmings, buckles, crystal mesh, and tattoos is displayed on flags hung for easy accessibility via metal rails.

The reception area has several showcases displaying our clients’ finished products integrating Swarovski stones. The objects and decoration in these showcases are changed three times a year.

Currently on display is a selection of items from the following clients:

· Chanel
· Christian Dior
· Sonia Rykiel
· Charles Jourdan
· Ungaro
· Daniel Swarovski

The reception area also serves as an exhibition space.

When the Creative Service Center first opened in 1998, little did we realize that the space, which seemed expansive at the time, would soon become too small for the flow of visitors and frequent meetings held within it.
