On November 26, 2026, Swarovski Kristallwelten unveils Dreamscape, a new immersive Chamber of Wonder by Joana Vasconcelos. A richly textured landscape of sculptural, organic forms, the installation brings together fabrics, embroidery and crochet, interwoven with hundreds of thousands of Swarovski Crystals. Set within a darkened space, Dreamscape gradually reveals its beauty, shimmering with vitality and movement as the crystals catch the light like delicate droplets. Bringing the distinctive colours of Lisbon to Wattens, Joana Vasconcelos evokes the city's unique palette through shades of rose, white and soft blue, reminiscent of the warmth and luminosity of early morning. Subtle layers of scent complete the experience, transforming the installation into a living, breathing ecosystem that awakens the senses.

At its heart, Dreamscape celebrates the value of artisanal knowledge and manual labour. The work establishes a dialogue between traditional craftsmanship and precision technology, advocating for their coexistence rather than opposition. Reflecting Swarovski's mastery of light, the crystals illuminate a world shaped by touch, time and human creativity, dissolving the boundaries between tradition and innovation. With Dreamscape, Joana Vasconcelos creates a sanctuary that invites visitors to explore new possibilities of matter, engage with a multisensory environment and surrender to moments of quiet contemplation.

I wanted to create a Chamber of Wonder where people could step inside and feel fully immersed in an ethereal landscape. In Dreamscape, the fabrics hold you, the Swarovski Crystals answer the light, and every visitor changes the space a little simply by being in it.
