    Swarovski Kristallwelten

    One of the most frequently visited attractions in Austria, Swarovski Crystal Worlds has delighted more than 15 million visitors since 1995.

    Swarovski Crystal Worlds

    Swarovski has had a history of tradition and success since the family-owned company opened in 1895. From the very outset, company founder Daniel Swarovski had the vision to regard crystal not just as a material, but as a source of inspiration. When Swarovski celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1995, a unique place was created that turned crystal into a living experience: Swarovski Kristallwelten (Swarovski Crystal Worlds). Renowned names from art and design interpret crystal in their own way and turn the sparkling material into unique concepts of experience and space. In line with the idea of the company’s founder, Daniel Swarovski, Swarovski Crystal Worlds is constantly reinventing and developing itself. It is always surprising and always on the cutting edge – a reliable partner for the tourism industry and an ongoing attraction for travelers through Austria. Spread out over 7.5 hectares, the iconic Giant’s fantastical realm offers a one-of-a-kind blend of contemporary art, classic history, captivating nature, and a year-round program of events for all ages.

    Black-and-white, modern with 15 million Swarovski crystals

    Spanish designer Jaime Hayon has designed a striking black-and-white carousel to juxtapose with the lush greenery of the Garden within Kristallwelten. The contemporary design reimagines the traditional carousel while retaining its nostalgic appeal.

    The monochrome design shimmers with 15 million Swarovski crystals across 12 ceiling panels and 16 wall panels and is illuminated with warm lighting to create a dreamlike atmosphere. Hayon was inspired by folklore and fairy tales to create the fantasy characters for the seats. Whimsical faces decorate the roof and the surrounding fence, expressing the joy, surprise and delight that riding a carousel brings.
