About

Garden Metamorphosis

The multi-award winning Changi airport offers a wealth of entertainment opportunities to amuse travellers between flights. During a refitting of terminal one, Preciosa contributed a bespoke dynamic installation entitled Garden Metamorphosis.

The concept presented was one featuring nature and the beautiful elements found in a garden.
The chandelier is inspired by a tree, from which the leaves fly and become butterflies. The butterflies are lit and a dynamic scene has been programmed which enhances the feeling of a transformation.
Designers wanted a chandelier that felt light and with colours reflecting a water/garden vibe. It should also bring a touch of luxury to the space.

Designer Anna Králová

What Anna really adores about working with crystal is a method that allows her to be both creative and precise.

"Here, these leaves turn into butterflies which visually blend with the leaves. Just like in nature - when a butterfly sits on a flower or a leaf, it completely merges with it."
