presenting crystal pixels: reviving early digital art through light


This dynamic installation represents the company’s mastery in contemporary lighting design by fusing timeless artistry with cutting-edge technology. The Czech glass producer, known for their heritage of Bohemian crystal, continues to walk the fine line between modern design brand and traditional chandeliers since 2016. In 2024, and on the occasion of Milan Design Week, Preciosa’s playful creativity takes shape in an immersive installation that showcases their newest creation, Crystal Pixels. The pendants, in conjunction with a surrounding 3D sound system, craft a vibrant display of color and melody, blending nostalgia with contemporary expression to honor the essence of early digital art.

Inspired by pixel geometry, each pendant within the fully customizable lighting concept can be individually programmed to tailor ambient or functional lighting solutions. This innovative approach allows for versatile display options, whether used alone or clustered, offering three sizes, various colors, and diverse lighting effects to suit any ambiance.

 

‘Crystal Beat 2 is a response to the shift in the culture around us. We are all at once looking to the future and reaching back to the past for nostalgia, comfort and experience to recoup popular retro trends. Through a dazzling display of light and music, every suspended Crystal Pixel invites you to take a graphic journey back in time, while absorbing the sensory delights of the present,’ describes Michael Vasku, co-Creative Director of Preciosa.

The installation features 400 pendants that synchronize with the rhythmic melodies of 1980s-inspired music, illuminating in vibrant RGBW LED colors, marking Preciosa’s first time in showcasing an animated colorful lighting display. The company’s visionary creative team maintains a long- standing mission to bring light to life and connect with people through engaging and memorable experiences.

 

‘Entering our installation, Crystal Beat 2, at Zona Tortona, will offer a sensory shift from the bustle of Milan during its most stimulating time. The lighting display, set against a dark interior, is designed to be completely immersive, lending a feel of infinity and transporting visitors to early memories of digital interaction,’ says Andreas Klug, co-Creative Director of Preciosa.
