Design

The Crystal Lammellas have a digitally produced 3D design inspired by fungal gills and lamellae’s structure, performance, and colors. The design is 3D-printed spirally as a single shell with only the necessary material. The Crystal Lamellas stresses the one-of-a-kindness of natural artifacts.

Manufacturing & Materials

Swarovski’s unique glass 3D-printing technology is used to create digitally created glass sculptures individually coated with their signature colorization technologies. Over the last four years, Koerner has worked with Swarovski on design and sustainable manufacturing innovation.
The sculptures are an outgrowth of JK3D’s lamella series, which is available in 3D-printed polymers at various scales. The work is shown atop a sculpted foundation that organically embraces the sculptures and is 3D-printed from sand, emphasizing the link between two distinct states of a single material, albeit in different sophisticated technologies and a symbiotic form.

About The Gritti Palace, Venice

After a handcrafted conservative restoration, the Gritti Palace reopened its legendary doors in February 2013. The rebuilt interiors are inspired by the palace’s historical status as an aristocratic private dwelling and venue for social gatherings and ceremonies.
The Gritti Palace features luxurious guest rooms and suites with breathtaking views of the Grand Canal, all inspired by renowned personalities such as Ernest Hemingway and Somerset Maugham.
