We take peek at Tord Boontje's new designs, 'Crystal Ice furniture by Tord Boontje for Swarovski Crystal Palace', which were released at this year’s Maison & Objet Salon in Paris from 23-27 January 2009.

Entitled 'Crystal Ice', the collection comprises a bench, table and stool. Following the success of his intricate ‘Ice Branch’, and using a similar technique of densely wrapped crystals, these three designs give an illusion of floating icicles encased in a striking cubic structure. Also on show was Belgian designer Vincent Van Duysen’s eye-catching ‘Cascade’, an opulent three metre chandelier with cascading drops of Swarovski crystals, echoing the tempestuous flow of a waterfall.
