Sparkling Hill Resort Made Crystal its Central Architectural
Sparkling Hill is the first hotel to have made crystal its central architectural theme and in so doing to have jointly developed the comprehensive design of its spaces, which conjure a magical haven of wellbeing from an idea of
wellness, with Swarovski.
The basic idea behind the design of the space was to pay homage to the allure of the surrounding natural environment: the play of glittering drops of water and rays of sun on rock formations provided the inspiration, and crystal from Swarovski provided the elemental material. Now crystals shimmer in fountains, fireplaces, lighting objects and tiles, trace a night sky in the indoor pool and lend subtle warmth to the meditation area. The monumental crystal fragment, the signature of Sparkling Hill Resort, leads visitors into a wondrous world of light, relaxation and contemplation.

“Snowflake” Installation for Kartel Gallery by Tokujin Yoshioka
Below Tokujin Yoshioka talks about his new collection entitled “The Invisibles” and his shop installation “Snowflake.”
You are presenting both product and installation in collaboration with Kartell this year. Please talk about the projects?
As a special collaboration between Claudio Luti and Tokujin Yoshioka, I am presenting “The Invisibles” collections and a shop installation entitled “Snowflake”. Recent years, I find myself often proposing designs, which incorporate the essence of natural phenomena and invisible elements.
The idea of the “Invisibles” initiates in the discussion I had with Mr. Claudio Luti almost two years ago. We both looked at the possibility to develop and express a new product in acrylic, which inherits the essence of optical glass bench “Water Block”.
It has been thought nearly impossible to create an industrial product in acrylic of this thickness. However, their innovative techniques and motivation and challenge to create a new product with a fresh dimension to idea have made it possible.
“The Invisibles” only leaves the sense as if seating in the air. The presence of the object is eradicated and it will create a scenery of a sitter floating in the air.

What is your vision for transparent material?
I am drawn by things that do not have forms but leave emotional effect to people. At a glance, such material is invisible and its existence is erased. Through the interaction with light, however, the form suddenly emerges. I am fascinated not only with such phenomena, but also elements that can stir and stimulate our imagination. I also like the idea of light, which is the form of design itself.
