Terraforming

Developed in partnership with Studio Swine (Concept & Design), Terraforming imagines a world where a crystal planet has been discovered in the galaxy. It follows a young cartographer’s journey to the planet, paying homage to 1960s sci-fi classics with bold modernist projections in space.

One of the first human-designed objects — the flint hand axe, first made around 1.7 million years ago — sits at the other end of this story. The project juxtaposes that primitive tool with Swarovski’s latest crystal technology: Xero chaton, the smallest precision-cut crystals in the world, measuring just 0.6mm in diameter — smaller than a grain of sand.
