<strong>SWAROVSKI</strong> <strong>ELEMENTS</strong> <strong>WALLPAPER</strong><br />
<strong>SWAROVSKI</strong> <strong>ELEMENTS</strong> present their first wallpaper collection bringing a luminous<br />
crystalline dimension to interiors. With these dazzling designs and the company’s<br />
recently developed technological innovation resulting in the new look Crystal Strata,<br />
<strong>SWAROVSKI</strong> <strong>ELEMENTS</strong> lives up to its exceptional reputation for innovation and<br />
craftsmanship.<br />
Designed by British wallpaper designer Karen Beauchamp in collaboration with the<br />
<strong>SWAROVSKI</strong> <strong>ELEMENTS</strong> in-house design team, the collection has proved an exciting<br />
means of pushing the boundaries and turning design concepts into wallpaper reality. The<br />
finest crystal elements manufactured by Swarovski are shown on backgrounds of exquisite<br />
flock, mirror-like foil and layered ink giving the effect of metallic leather. <strong>SWAROVSKI</strong><br />
<strong>ELEMENTS</strong> shimmer as light plays across the wall refracted by the multi-faceted colored<br />
crystals, Cabochon pearls and Crystal Strata integrated into the designs.<br />
The collection comprises 9 wallpapers embellished with <strong>SWAROVSKI</strong> <strong>ELEMENTS</strong> and 2<br />
coordinating plain wallpapers. Three of these wallpapers have a fabulous layer of crystals,<br />
the Crystal Strata, which subtly changes color creating a refined and subtle brilliance never<br />
before seen in interiors. To create the lavish crystal-spangled effects of Crystal Strata,<br />
dense layers of crystals are applied directly to sections of the designs as the wallpaper is<br />
printed for an intense and sparkling effect.<br />
In FEATHER PALACE, clouds of flock feathers fall from the sky and the design is<br />
interspersed with a single metallic plume every 85 cm whose strands are accentuated by<br />
Xilion crystals reflecting light for an intensely luminous effect.<br />
Available colors: * Mauve Black * Copper * French Grey * Pale Aqua<br />
Like the soft focus reflected in the romantic blurring of an antique mirror, the rectangular<br />
pane design of VERSAILLES has the appearance of 18 th century verre églomisé gilded<br />
glass fixed at each corner with a cluster of Crystal Rocks.<br />
Available colors: * Gold * Silver
PLUME evokes all the style, sophistication and allure of an ostrich feather in sinuous<br />
velvet flock against a background with the appearance of fine metallic leather. A hundred<br />
years ago ostrich feathers were ounce for ounce more precious than gold and here their<br />
status soars again with the quill of each 50 cm plume embellished with Cabochon pearls<br />
and Xilion crystals.<br />
Available colors: * Black * Sage * Mauve Black * French Grey * Pale Duck Egg<br />
The scintillating JEWELED STRIPE in broad tone on tone velvet flock and metallic crackle<br />
is bordered, depending on the color, by a delicious line of pearls or crystals. The crackle<br />
stripe in the design matches the plain ORIENTAL CRACKLE TEXTURE wallpaper.<br />
Available colors: * Black Bronze * Red * French Grey * Champagne * Oyster<br />
Precious as the name suggests, KOHINOOR DAMASK is damask with a difference. The<br />
large 85 cm design dazzles and sparkles with lavish Crystal Strata bouncing and stealing<br />
light from candles and lamps, sumptuous and magnificent with a fin de siècle feel.<br />
Available colors: * Black Copper * Magenta * Mauve * Taupe * Oyster<br />
Diamond shapes and Crystal Strata characterize this harlequin style DIAMOND TRELLIS.<br />
Each colorway explores fabulous textures including Crystal Strata, velvet flock and metallic<br />
leather effect printing accentuated with Chessboard Circle crystals.<br />
Available colors: * Copper * Sage * Petrol * Duck Egg * Oyster<br />
A fusion of luxurious elements in CASHMERE - the iconic paisley design twinkles with<br />
miniature <strong>SWAROVSKI</strong> <strong>ELEMENTS</strong> on the softest tactile flock background with a raised<br />
pile giving the impression, depending on the color, of cashmere, suede or velvet. The<br />
counterpoint design is enhanced with <strong>SWAROVSKI</strong> <strong>ELEMENTS</strong> every 85 cm and may be<br />
hung as a straight match or a half drop.<br />
Available colors: * Grey Gold * Taupe * Oyster * Duck Egg<br />
RUFFLE SILK JASPE features fine subtle printing with layer upon layer of ink on a mica<br />
ground for a Fortuny style pleat effect. Upon closer inspection sophisticated sparkle is<br />
revealed dotted in random rows nestling between the pleats.<br />
Available colors: * Dark Grey * Bronze * Red * Taupe * Neutral
Inspired by Venetian gondola mooring poles, the richly colored spiral bands of VENETIAN<br />
STRIPE entwine with Crystal Strata as if reflecting sunlight in the shimmering water of the<br />
lagoon.<br />
Available colors: * Charcoal Black * Black Copper * Taupe Mauve<br />
ORIENTAL CRACKLE TEXTURE has a simple crazed crackle design to accentuate the<br />
opulence of the other wallpapers in the collection and is a glorious combination of ink and<br />
paper texture. The colors match the stripe in JEWELED STRIPE.<br />
Available colors: * Black Bronze * Red * French Grey * Champagne * Oyster<br />
The background wallpaper SILK VELVET TEXTURE is designed to emphasize the artistry<br />
in the crystal designs with multi-layering of colors and a metallic appearance. The colors<br />
match the backgrounds in PLUME.<br />
