Award-winning Vasku & Klug Studio, Vienna, have created a unique light installation, ‘Crystal Automata’, combining the intricate motion mechanics of automata with the elegance and beauty of Bohemian Crystal. In collaboration with PRECIOSA Lighting
WATER An automaton that references rain fall. Created from 116 wires, with a 2320 crystal almond trimmed waterfall that flows in endless motion, up and down. At its base, the crystals touch the water level.

EARTH The automaton's core is created from an immense hand cut piece of crystal (dia. 25cm). This is placed at the centre of an armillary sphere, consisting of three concentric circles. ...
...The outer ring is driven by external force, the inner ones move freely. The bowl is filled with quartz sand, the basic raw material of crystal.
AIR An automaton created from 9 pairs of handmade wings with golden hinges. Every pair of the opaque wings is shaped uniquely. They are arranged in a spiral, moving individually while synchronously moving as one flock.

FIRE The automaton consists of a monumental 1 m ball, created by 150 handmade black crystal pieces. It is slowly rotating on its axis, floating above a bowl of gold StarDust® and flickering light, giving the effect of real fire.

Vasku & Klug Studio, founded in 2011, collaborates with clients worldwide, on architecture, interior design and exhibition architecture projects. Central to its work is the concept of ‘total design’: every project detail, from the lighting to the graphics and media, is overseen. This comprehensive presence through all planning and production stages ensures a project’s totality, bringing it together seamlessly, with perfect connectivity.
Award-winning Vasku & Klug Studio, Vienna, have created a unique light installation, ‘Crystal Automata’, combining the intricate motion mechanics of automata with the elegance and beauty of Bohemian Crystal. In collaboration with PRECIOSA Lighting, the installation for Milan 2016, showcases contemporary automata relating to the Four Elements, the history of automata and concepts of chandeliers, to the highest level of craftsmanship and precision engineering.
