SWAROVSKI STAR BY DANIEL LIBESKIND RAISED ON TO ROCKEFELLER CENTER 2019 CHRISTMAS TREE

For the second year, the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree in #newyork City will be topped by the #swarovski crystal star designed by renowned architect #daniellibeskind. Libeskind’s Star, which debuted in 2018 to wide acclaim, is crafted from 3 million dazzling #swarovski Crystals on 70 illuminated spikes. The #swarovski Star’s asymmetrical, geometric form showcases Swarovski’s innovative technology, weighing 900 pounds and measuring 9-foot 4-inches in diameter. This vision of the holiday star is by #daniellibeskind, known for architectural works including the Master Plan for the World Trade Center, the Jewish Museum in Berlin, and more. A brilliant symbol of holiday joy, the #swarovski Star radiates across #newyork with a message of hope, unity and peace.

A to-scale replica of the #swarovski Star will also be on display in Rockefeller Center, allowing visitors the opportunity to marvel over the intricate detailing and precision craftsmanship that #swarovski is known for. The Star will be accompanied by a retail pop-up where visitors can purchase seasonal #swarovski items, including a Libeskind-designed ornament collection.

Nadja #swarovski, Member of the #swarovski Executive Board, commented: “We are excited to raise the #swarovski Star with #daniellibeskind at Rockefeller Center for the 2019 holiday season. This iconic design shines out across #newyork City with a message of peace and joy for all.”
