The park has the highest concentration of [Swarovski crystals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swarovski-and-minecraft) on earth and chief among them is the Swarovski kaleidoscope, one of the main attractions of the park. The [telescope itself](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaonis-hyperia) is designed to look like a human face with water pouring from the mouth in a fountain-like fashion. The crystal park is open year-round meaning that the fountain freezes over and creates a beautiful crystal ice-sculpture from the kaleidoscope. The aptly nicknamed 'crystaloscope' was designed by Andre Heller and Peter Mandi. A regular kaleidoscope features pretty lights and colors, the crystaloscope by Swarovski is in a completely unique league of its own. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Swarovski Crystal Installations:** Companies can utilize crystal installations to add a luxurious element to their products or services. - **Innovative Fountain Designs:** There is an opportunity for designers to create unique fountain designs that incorporate both art and function. - **Integration of Natural Elements:** Businesses can integrate natural elements in their design to create a more immersive and sustainable experience for their customers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Luxury Goods:** Luxury brands can incorporate crystal elements into their products to create a luxurious experience for their customers. - **Tourism:** Tourism businesses can create unique attractions that incorporate crystal and fountain elements to attract more visitors. - **Architecture and Design:** Architects and designers can incorporate crystal and fountain elements in their designs to create visually stunning and memorable structures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Crystal-Encrusted Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oakley-x-swarovski.md) - [Reflective Kaleidoscope-Inspired Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kalegoidoscope.md) - [Jewelry Brand Anniversary Celebrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swarovski-celebrates-130-years.md) - [Multifaceted Glass Crystal Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystal-light-fixtures.md) - [Kaleidoscopic Lazy Rivers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kaleidoscope-kavern.md) - [Multicolored Jewelry Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swarovski-launches.md) - [Immersive Crystal Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immersive-crystal-installation.md) - [Animated Creature Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trolls-x-swarovski.md) - [Crystal-Embellished Earwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swarovski-x-loop.md)
