Hack Your Future and Seasony collaboration - Final Project for Class11

Hack Your Future - Copenhagen

This project was a collaboration between Hack Your Future Final and Seasony for the Final Project for Class11 students where we developed a webapp to monitor Seasony's hydroponics vertical farming operation.

The project is public on GitHub, please check it here https://github.com/HackYourFuture-CPH/FP-class11

The Lotus Eye Crystal

Swarovski

The Lotus Eye Crystal was inspired by a droplet of water on a lotus flower petal and the shape of an eye. The idea was to reverse light's journey into the eye and imagine the eye emitting light. A cylindrical lens channels the light and mixes the color, while an aspherical lens acts as a projector isolating this functionality from the faceted body. Light refraction, aka sparkle, only occurs when the Lotus Eye receives light. The crystal utilizes the technology of the Swarolens S02 and is a study in obsessive precision in design, engineering and science - bringing two opposing functionalities channeled light and sparkle into one beautiful component without compromise. 

The Lotus Eye Crystal was created in collaboration with the Swarovski Applied Research Division, Light & Optics team, Swarovski Custom Production, and Lead Designer, Mark Smith in a process that took over three years with special consultation from Osram Germany and Maramoja Projects.


Tidal Light Sculpture

Marriott International

The task given by Marriott International was to create something “Cool, Coastal California”. It had to be an eye-catching piece of art while also providing all the functional lighting needed in the Pre-Function Ballroom space.

Designing in close collaboration with architecture firm, TVS Design, Tidal is a highly-engineered, nebulous sculpture that runs 27 ft. across and 57 ft. long, floating seamlessly with no visible connectors in a canopy and runs flush with the undulating soffit ceiling. It is accompanied by simple pendant lights that illuminate the texture and expanse of the piece with shadow play and glittering reflections of the crystal strands. The material and form create a sense of magnitude that harmoniously complements the space without breaking a tight budget. Officially considered a public art piece for the city, it is as visible to Marriott visitors as it is to the public, glowing through the double-height, clear glazed windows. Inspiration for the sculpture was drawn from a section of the La Jolla mountains, which are visible from the hotel property, as they appear reflected in the water.



Shimmering Sea Ceiling

Water is the element of nature that crystal emulates most. Whether the sparkle of sunlight on the ocean or the refraction of light through ice, water is by far the greatest inspiration for those designing with glass and crystal. The challenge was to create an entirely new exploration of this connection to nature in an installation that worked effectively for the constraints of a trade fair booth. It had to be able to be installed within a day and disassembled in half that time.

The entire installation is made with one hexagonal tile structured in such a way that the connections of the tiles create a robust frame that enables the entire structure to be shaped into an organic form with suspension cables. Strategically placed moving head RGB LED lights projected a shifting pattern onto the ceiling of cool blues and violets, while white down-lights also projected a much softer water pattern onto the floor and the visitors below. The crystal-encrusted, mirrored surface acts as a pattern screen, and as the “surface” of the water above.

Swarovski by You

Swarovski by You is an on-demand fashion jewelry personalization service that is easily accessible via mobile devices. Customers can have fun customizing special Swarovski jewelry collections from their phones and receiving their creations by mail. 

This project addressed a range of business challenges. The future of Swarovski Retail was under pressure. In addition to the average Swarovski customer purchasing only twice a year, there was sales erosion in key markets due to increased competition in fashion jewelry, the rise of ‘bridge’ jewelry (fine+fashion), declining in-store foot traffic, and consumer migration to digital shopping.

For 125 years the global power of the Swarovski brand has been rooted in its Austrian product excellence. The goal was to move customers from a primarily product relationship with Swarovski to a product+service relationship. This was achieved by embedding the excitement of discovering and experiencing a piece in the process of making it.

Swarovski's Paris Design Studio, and Imago Design, helped in the development of two jewelry collections that leveraged the capabilities of advances in 3D printing/Additive Manufacturing for Jewelry Production, Parametric Design with API technology, and 360° Touch Screen User Interface optimized for mobile devices. When the user is “playing” with configurations to make their jewelry, they don’t realize that they are also producing the production files for their product. The Twikbot platform transforms digital input (3D file, 3D scan, AI) to a configurable format for visual customization and digital manufacturing.
