Last Wednesday, Swarovski celebrated Brazilian architect Guilherme Torres’ long-awaited installation, “Mangue Groove” for Swarovski Crystal Palace at Design Miami/. Two hundred guests dined and enjoyed Perrier Jouet champagne in his honor at Soho Beach House, with an evening hosted by Nadja Swarovski and a soundtrack spun through the night by DJ Alex Merrel.
Torres created an Amazonian mangrove-inspired installation composed of Swarovski crystals, wood, water, and sound. The piece comes to life each evening with the ambiance of light and music. Torres’ work used lead-free crystals and was inspired by a cause near and dear to him, conserving natural resources.
